My wife and I did about a 4 mile walk just to take the edge off.

2.5 easy miles with my wife Mik’L. Legs feeling stiff after sitting from an extended time, but after stretching they feel pretty good.

I decided to write down my food intake and training stuff the last couple days before the marathon because I had absolutely no problems with my stomach or going potty during the race. In fact I didn’t have to go #2 from the time at the starting line porta potty until sometime Sunday afternoon.

Anyways I’ll find this info useful before my next race and maybe others might benefit from it as well.

Thursday Afternoon

Ran with the club 5.5 miles with one mile at 5.20 pace at 7p.m.

Came home and ate:

1 can salmon (like a can of tuna, but salmon)

½ an avocado

1 bowl of noodles (from Costco or Albertsons) like ramen noodles but in its own bowl

1 mixed 16oz cup of Cytomax from powder

1 banana

In bed by 9:30 p.m. and watched TV until 10:20 then tried to sleep

Friday

3 mile run @ 9 a.m.

Ate:

Bowl of Honey nut Cheerios

1 banana

1 mixed drink of Cytomax

Got ready and went to Marathon Expo at Noon

Drank a 32 oz bottle of Cytomax during the day while out and about

Went to lunch at 2 p.m. at Samaria 21

Ate:

Chicken Teriyaki Bowl (chicken and noodles)

A little tofu soup and some salad

2 ½ sushi (California roll style)

Bowl of white rice

Water with lemon

We messed around town and went home at 5 p.m.

Hot Bath

Prep for run (all my stuff together)

Ate: @ 7 p.m.

1 Bowl of noodles (not the whole thing)

1 apple

Drank water

Watched “Without limits”

In bed by 9 p.m.

Day of the race

Up at 4 a.m. sharp

2 pieces of wheat toast with very little butter

1 banana

½ a vanilla power bar

1 mixed cup of cytomax from powder

Trip to toilet at home

Shower and shave * I like to feel fresh for a race

Get everything ready and out of the house by 4:45 to meet people at rec center by 5 a.m.

Ride up in van with some of the Japanese delegates

Ate on ride up:

1 more banana

Other half of power bar

Sipped on more cytomax

At starting line by around 6 a.m.

Stretched, talked with others, porta potty 2 times before the race. One trip because I had to go and one trip about 15 min to start just to make sure we were clear for take off.

Strip off warm cloths and we are off

While running I had bottles mixed with Endurance fuel (GNC product) and plain flavored GU’s at mile markers 11 and 19.

That’s about it. I’ll definitely follow something like this in the future and would have paid a good price for something like this in the past. If you have any other questions about this just ask.

Went out up the trail over to the water tank and down turkey farm road through the industrial park and home.

About 5 miles into the run it felt like I was taking a bad trip to "quad city". I think my quads are as sore as they have ever been. Hope they start to feel better soon.

Pretty sick. But at the lake so trying to make the most of it. After not catching a fish for over 5 years I pull in 13 today.

Still feeling poor. We came back to Torrey due to bad weather. It rained all day so I came back to St. George and was going to get a run in but after all the driving and sickness I was trashed when I got home.

I guess after the last 4 months of training and then after running the marathon my body finally crashed. I'm feeling a little better today (monday) and will start getting some miles in this week.
