Daily Report:
Notes: Terrible day of strength training, no energy and lack of motivation. However, it was an awesome day of conditioning. I took a 20 min break after lifting, re-focused and got my mind right before the sprints in order to salvage the day. Runs were all easy and pacing was right on target. The last 400 m sprint was a personal best.

Body Weight: 195#
Nutrition: Daily diet for the last month or two has consisted of grape nuts and whole milk for breakfast, typically 1/2 to 1lb of chicken or beef for lunch and another 1/2 to 1lb of chicken or beef as well as vegetables for dinner. I have been drinking approx a 1/2 gallon of whole or chocolate milk daily. On my run days I limit milk to early in the morning and post workout as I find it hard to run within a 2-3 hour window of drinking it.
