John, why do you think coffee is a bad thing?
I don’t drink too much coffee either, I’m a (green) tea-drinker, but I know some athletes who drink a lot of it (300-400mg caffeine/day) for metabolism boosting as part of their diet.
By the way, I am having a hard time concentrating on my kg-drop-plan here, as tomorrow is Orthodox Easter, and all kinds of ‘dangerous’ foods are floating around…
Sunday night is Milan again though, and my simple eating will start once again.
I will miss mom’s food.
Saturday, April 18th:
I don’t know why I tell myself “no more running this week”, and go out and run today, but I did run… and my knee has some good irritation at the moment, but I decided to start iso strengthening again, and it does make me feel safe. In a way.
> Warm up / 5min isometric
> 4 x 300m on grass, 2min recoveries
(I know I should be careful with longer distances at the moment, for various reasons, but I think I need clinical help relating to bad decision making concerning my personal training.
My ex-Greek-coach who trains my 400m friend says it most accurately: I am generally crazy, with no self control, and I think that I can do everything in one session and then go compete in the Olympics the following day.
:o note: she has experienced a lot of ‘Stef-obsessions’ in fall of 2004. Once she banned me from stepping on the track. Good days. :o
