Glucose AM:210

3 Hours Hiking: A lot warmer in Grove Creek canyon than last week.

Tried making some "Super Cookies" with quinoa flakes and agave (instead of sugar) Quinoa is a high protein substitute for wheat flour. http://magazine.byu.edu/print.php?a=2182

 They tasted okay -- but probably not worth the effort. Just get used to not eating cookies, I tell myself.

 I made a spinach salad with egg and fetta cheese. It was good, but again seemed like too much effort. I like to just eat, be done and forget about it. I'm going back to the simple protein and vegetable diet that I did in April.

 No workout during the Jazz game -- too worn out from yardwork on Saturday.

It was a sweatfest today.

Glucose: AM:150, PM:120

7 x 220 sprints: 50, 55, 59, 56,53,58,49

Slow times because of Ankle pain.

I'm going to take Daniel suggestion and try to do more consistent training. I've not wanted to run too much due to history of back and hip problems but I'm going to add a 3 mile run this week and see how it feels. If 4 running days a week feels okay, then I'll add a fifth day later.

 Lauri paced me well and I ran pretty well, but was somewhat disappointed in the time. (We were hoping to break  34 minutes). I would say the two main factors for the slow time were 1) the huge crowd. It was really hard to find much running space. 2) My training track is a bit shorter than a 5K so I  had overly high expectations.

 Anyway, it's still a PR for a 5K. I'll try a little different strategy for the next 5k (may 17 running with angels at Thanksgiving point) I've got a lot of work to do to get under 30 minutes.

 Couldn't complain about the finish line free food and give-away booths. Very fun finishing at the Gateway.
