Tuesday's Run-Grandview Loop
4.8 miles at "conversational pace"
53:07 = 11:03 mm

I don't know if I would consider that pace "conversational" since the uphills I was breathing hard. I had to stop and walk 3 times, about 1/2 block each time. Once it was just to "reset" my form since I could tell I was taking small, upright steps.



Monday Test-In

Mile Time 9:08
5 complete rounds of -up the hill,down to bleachers for 10 box jumps, 10 push ups, 10dips
I got through the hill, 10 pushups and 10 box jumps before time of 30 minutes was called. Just needed 60-90 more seconds to complete. So the goal is to complete 6 rounds and get back to a sub-9 mm

Paleo vs Zone

So here are some of the differences I noticed...

Grains - Paleo NO, Zone OK
Cheese and dairy -Paleo NO, Zone OK
Bean - Paleo NO, Zone OK
Soy (bean)- Paleo NO, Zone OK
Bananas - Paleo OK, Zone - small qty
Peantus -Paleo NO, Zone OK
Cashews -Paleo No, Zone OK

I know some people prefer one or the other and have better results. It's difficult to combine the two different theories because of their differences but if I take the overlapping part of the two, I may be able to find something.

Compared to Paleo, Zone is less restrictive. What a change in perspective! But I know they focus on 2 distinctly different theories. I believe Paleo is oriented to eliminate or control our bodies from producing unwanted or unnecessary chemicals. Where the Zone Diet is to group foods so they are more effect for our bodies to obtain the correct nutrients and to keep the correct portions.

If anyone is doing the Paleo Diet, what are your breakfasts like? Is it just eggs and fruits?
