Training Scorecard - 4/22

I took Friday off after my disastrous Thursday run, though the rest of the weekend was much less active than it should have been. I'm trying to figure out why that's been the case the last weekend or two, but that's neither here nor there for this.

Eating: B

Salads, but also pizza.

Alcohol: C

Blue Point Summer, for contrast.

Sleep: C

5:56

Training Overall: B

It was a rest day.

Run: No

Swim: No

Bike: No

Other: A

I did a bunch of blogging and finally implemented my goal of blogging about both sides of life. I also realized that will probably tough to keep current from a time and effort standpoint.

I RESOLVE TO NOT EAT PIZZA TODAY

That is all.

Training Scorecard - 4/6

I think yesterday I reached my limit of things to do in one day. I'm giving myself an Other grade of less than an A because it was too much of a good thing.

I swam in the morning, went to work, ran  a 4-mile loop from work to watch a comedy show, dinner, went back to work to change into regular people clothes and finally finished the day performing in a show. I didn't mind it while it was happening, but I went to bed late and was extra tired and so woke up quite late this morning. Not ideal.

Clean Eating: C

Banana and nuts for breakfast and salad for lunch and pizza for dinner. I can't tell at this point if I've made it more of a thing than it actually is because I'm aware of it. Regardless, I haven't gone out of my way to get pizza, but it seems to be around frequently when I find myself out at a mealtime with few alternatives. Also I love it.

Alcohol: A-

Half a beer after the last show.

Sleep: A-

6:49

Training Overall: A

Finally, two workouts in a day!

Run: Yes

4.5 miles.

Swim: Yes!

1,850 yards in 46:44. For you swimmers out there, I know this is slow, but I don't have the bandwidth right now to do much work on the quality of my swimming.

Bike: No

Other: B

Too much comedy? Probably too much of everything at the same time.

Training Scorecard - 4/5

Yesterday was a day that, previously, might have ended in no workout based on an already busy schedule. The good news is that I got myself out for a good ol' night run on the treadmill at my gym.

I've also been thinking about what to do with these grades, because I feel like they're only so helpful if I can't use them to identify trends. I'm working on that for the next few days.

Clean Eating: C

I did well for breakfast (banana and pistachios) and okay for lunch (salad but also naan and a samosa) and disastrously for dinner (pizza, obviously), so a C may be generous.

Alcohol: A+

None, but I'm giving myself a + because my evening was spent in a setting in which having a beer was tempting and easy to do.

Sleep: D

4:23. Fallout from Monday's post-improv festivities.

Training Overall: B+

The rules I've adopted for this overall score are that if I hit two of the three below during a day, that's an A. If I only do one of them but it's a long distance or especially intense workout, that's also an A. An average workout in one is a B and no activity at all is something on the C to F scale depending on circumstances (yesterday, for example).

Run: Yes

You'll notice a + here because this was a 6.11 mile run which I finished with a tempo mile that ended at a 6:31 min/mile pace.

Swim: No

Bike: No

Other: A

Comedy with friends!

Training Scorecard - 4/3

I hadn't mentioned this in yesterday's scorecard, but I ended up doing my long run today because I missed all my alarms for yesterday's run with Morty and Asha. Today I ran with my friends Allison, Emily, and Sharon and we kept a good pace before ending for brunch around the Seaport.

Since the last two days haven't been the best for food/alcohol, it'll be good to do a reset tomorrow.

Clean Eating: D

Good brunch and decent dinner which included eggs with all kinds of vegetables and even a side salad in there, but also delicious pizza from my friend Ryan's bar, which he brought to improv practice. I was extra hungry after the run.

Alcohol: D

Kirin at karaoke.

Sleep: A-

A couple minutes shy of 7 hours, which is my gold standard for an A grade.

Training Overall: A+

Run: Yes

18 miles on top of 9ish yesterday and 6.5 on Friday. Not too shabby for the weekend.

Swim: No

Bike: No

Other: A

Improv and lots of karaoke afterward.

Training Scorecard - 4/2

It seems like weekends are worse for food/alcohol consumption, which perhaps is common sense. I'm still feeling everything out and determining which are the best/most efficient changes to make to all my habits. It's hard.

Clean Eating: C

Eggs for breakfast and an extremely tasty salad for dinner but also a slice of pizza after the party. I'm starting to see pizza as my #1 food problem. I love it so much.

Alcohol: F

Mmm...went to a birthday party and had some drinks but did make them vodka sodas, which I think is the least calorically damaging alcoholic option.

Sleep: A+

8:39!

Training Overall: A-

Run: Yes

9-10 miles. 9.3 but then three quarters of a mile to my friends' improv show because I was late.

Swim: No

Bike: No

Other: A

Improv! I went to see some friends' improv show and performed in one for my group, Falawful.
