rest 1 [1]
No training. Bunch of gests over for dinner today and not much sleep night before. It's another huge win in the good food column.
I'm partway through clean-up at about 1 a.m. when Kristin yells downstairs...

Business dinner at Galileo. VCs pay. If this were my real life ...
This may go down as one of the best food and wine weeks in a long time.

running (trails) 1:20:00 [2] 9.0 mi (8:53 / mi)
With Shadow at night looping the local forest using lights . Course is nearly a repeat of Monday I think. A little slow today (near walk at points) for all the leaf cover. Hard to see the rocks/roots/ruts.
Note to self: running is clearly more beneficial to running than is riding to running.

Note
My big nod to orienteering is to carry a map while we walk in the park with the dog for an hour plus. Can’t get any serious training in today. The in-laws are in town and I am still recovering from last night’s dinner. A fine dinner it was. Besides the in-laws with a birthday to celebrate my own parents stopped by to toast completion of a major certification exam, and everybody is excited about the impending arrival (Nov 17th +/- ?). Kristin, who had been discouraging my consuming “the really good wine” without her, gives a complete green light for indulgence.
With all due respect to Nadim and his own dietary indiscretion I mock brownie/blondie angst. If you are going down you should go down big that’s my view. Then you know it was worth it.
Last night’s celebratory diet:
Food:
Coriander crusted moulard duck with peach and crushed olive relish
A whole beef tenderloin with a fresh rosemary rub
Baked potato stuffed withed whipped egg/cream and cheese
Lots of bread with lots of butter and olive oil
Assorted veggies
Chocolate soufflé
There was also a significant liquid calorie count. Because there are empty bottles there must have also been wine from:
Stellenbosch
Guigal
D’arenburg
Marquis Philip
Paul Hobbs
Beaucastel
Kumeu River
Fortunately my love of food and wine is balanced with my love of exercise as it’ll take me a week to run this off. It’s not going to help that I’ve swapped bike commuting for car in case I need to join Kristin at the hospital. My budget also prevents my repeating this spectacle frequently. In the meantime I live up to the Fat & Happy MTB team motto and stay away from Mr. Scale.
