Tough Mudder Training - Day 2

Day  2 ... dreary, rainy, chilly morning :(          .... I am going to add in an overview of my diet/food intake every day as well.  Video blog at the bottom of the entry.

This morning.  Woke. Cup of coffee.  15-20 minutes of morning yoga.

Breakfast - 2 egg omelet (organic, cage free), protein shake mixed with almond milk, banana, english muffin butter/peanut butter... suppliments: male multi vitamin, fish oil, part of the protein blend I use includes a number of aminos and bcaa including l-carnitine, arginine, glutamine, leucine

SIDE COMMENT... the thing about this blog, is that I am a extremely busy with work and being a dad, etc. I don't have all the time in the world to train or eat perfectly - it is not my full focus... the point of this blog is to show that if you use a knowledge of what is key to performance, you can maximize your activity specific gains even with limited time and resources.  And the key to that is really making sure your physical training has activity specific purpose.
