53/365

No workout, spent the day fixing the plumbing and dealing with my money issues. Turns out being an employee of a bike shop, no matter how great the bike shop is, isn't the best way to successfully pay the bills. Who knew?
The plan had been to ride, but all things just failed. Well, not all things, I suppose. All things got worked out, actually. So in spite of being a stressful, sedentary day, it was a useful one. I just wish I had been on the road for a few hours before being stressed.

Best dinner in a while - broc,carrot,beet,kale,tofu on quinoa+brown rice, with beet+greens juice, 1/2 chocolate mint cookie and a cup of coffee.
Had a long and productive conversation with coach about training and got a good feeling on where I am and where I should be. I'm glad it's noticeable to people other than myself that I am more focused than I have been in the past and that I am making a concerted effort to bring the best that I can.
