80/20, week 2

Today was day 1 of my second week of 80/20 training.

Last week went reasonably well. I did most of the runs in my local park, but the Saturday run was done as a commute in to work, and was the only run that week with a backpack. It was deeply satisfying. I also stopped drinking coffee and started drinking green tea instead, despite being only somewhat convinced of the relevant health benefits. I started eating mostly "core foods", largely things like chopped salads, but I need to put a fair bit more effort into my diet if I want to pursue the model in the book I've been reading. In particular, I need to incorporate more lean dairy and protein into my diet.

Today felt productive, despite really just consisting of basic chores. My strength training has consisted of 110 reps of everything, with the situps and squats weighted by 10 pounds, for quite some time now. I did laundry, a 40-minute training run, filled a dozen water jugs, went grocery shopping, cleaned the litterbox, emptied the composting toilet, washed the dishes, poached some eggs and made roasted bell pepper sauce, and generally tidied things up.

I keep thinking about living in a really small van. Or on a small sailboat in the middle of the ocean.
