Rest day - woke at 6:10 and felt like I wanted to get up and out on the road. Decided to stay in bed. That's a wise head on a tubby body. Allow the body time to recover from all those strenuous miles.
So, on my active rest day I plan to walk to the wholefood/organic shop in town and scan the shelves. I'm reading Patrick Holford's, The Optimum Nutrition Bible; I fear I might metamorphose from a T-Rex into a brontosaurus. I've given up booze and smokes and now I'm considering giving up everything - slurps his coffee.
Made a bean and pulse chill-ay this morning, think I'll have it with some rice - need to suss out what is the best rice. It's all very confusing and terrifying.
Problem to consider: health food shop is only a mile away from McDonalds. Maybe I should go back to bed...
RHR an incredible 52. That age group record - 2:19 marathon - for the 50-55 banding is looking more and more likely. |
