I had a really nice thanksgiving holiday. My dad and I started the day with a Turkey Trot 8K race. The weather was beautiful, and so was the course. Of course, energy and excitement were high. My goal was to get as close to 50 minutes as possible, and I did it in 49:45! Excellent! 5 months ago, doing it in 60 minutes would have been a real stretch. So, my average mile pace was 10:01. I ran 6 minutes, walked 1 for most of the race, since I've never run that far, that fast continuously in training. Worked out really well, I'd say. What a way to start the morning! I jogged for 15 minutes to warm up right beforehand, and walked for 25 minutes or so to cool down.
Food for the day:
Before the race - 2 bananas (in smoothie form), some medjool dates (maybe 6???)
After the race - some raisin soak water, more medjool dates (not sure how many), a few halawi dates on the way home.
Lunch - once home - persimmons, banana ice cream with some soaked raisins mixed in (VERY good!!!!)
Thanksgiving dinner with dad - Pineapple chunks, pomegranate arils, raw veggies (bell peppers, celery, tomatoes) with dip (sundried tomatoes blended with oranges and a bit of fresh basil - excellent!), cabbage-lettuce-orange-tomato-cuke-avo slaw. Some avocado. Very good. Overate just a bit....but I won't be too hard on myself - doesn't everyone on Thanksgiving?
Dad ate what I had, and loved it, before eating some cooked foods. He only ate like 3 bites of turkey, though, because he was so satisfied with what I served beforehand! Good for him!
I'm thankful for the people I love, for my ever-increasing health, and for the fact that my life is my own and keeps getting better and better...
It feels sort of wrong to list calories/ratios here today (being a holiday and all), but I can list the approximations:
Total calories/caloronutrient ratio: 3080 total calories, 84% carb, 6% protein, 10% fat
