nutrition is key - 4 cal/min

this morning before leaving the house I asked Michele what the nutrition guys said about eating a full clif bar. "Dont stuff the whole thing in your mouth, eat it slow" How slow??? Needless to say, it took me 15 mins to get to the gym, at the rate I was stuffing my mouth, that equated to 1/2 a cliff bar. The workout today was a 70min ride with five 6 min higher intensity intervals. I felt great on the warm up, and the first 2 intervals. at the 30 mins mark, my legs cried no more. I stopped, worked on my abs(Donna said I was just going to sit on my butt).
I dont think the feeling I had in my legs had anything to do with my nutrition morning. It was more of the after effects of this weekends workout. Running the 1 mile hill at rancho on sunday, though I felt great, took it's toll on my quads.

babysitting last night was fun. Justin was incredibly behaved. Michele was giving him a part 2 lesson on Sudoko.

4 calories/min is the rate at which your muscles absord nutrition - interesting, huh
