“I am shedding my skin.” – Tool

I have never trained for real in Texas. Training is THE way to see a place. The interactions I have with a place while training is the most intense. You see the brids and animals, the trees, the sky and you feel the wind, the weather, the hills.

On the camp adgenda was 70 miles through the Texas countryside. I can see why Brett who lives here loves this place. I saw crazy scary-cool oak trees, storks, cranes, hawks, cows, cows with BIG ASS horns, and woods, lots and lots of woods.

We road at a proper base pace and the time flew by. 5+ hours later and it was done, almost without thinking that it was “work” or whatever. I decided the brick the run since it was so nice and I wasn’t sure if I would find time later.

By the end I had a nice 6+ hour day and best the part is I have sunburn! Freakin’ sunburn!!! Lovin me some Texas right now.

We also had another awesome meal. Kale + brown rice + black eyed peas + tempe. I am watching myself lean out, its amazing. Most cool however is that I am having 1/3 my normal caffine intake and not tired. Its amazing how much more enegry I have when I am eating properly and how improperly I eat when left to my own devices and I think my diet is “pretty good.”
