I did a five mile run this morning with Gail. We did it in 1:00:51 - she's getting faster! Then I followed it up with P90X Back and Biceps and one final round of Ab-RipperX before the race. I had planned on eating good, but I have been starving again all week - I'm hungry before, during, and after every meal! So I got sick of that, and decided I needed a free meal. I guess there's really no such thing as that, but I took one anyway. It feels SO GOOD not to feel hungry for a minute, but I know I'll need to eat again in an hour or so. Ben and I went to the sushi buffet, and even though I ate MOSTLY clean, I ate in LARGE portions. I did eat some chocolate-covered almonds at the end, but I'm calling it "carbing-up" and will go with it. My plan for Dallas is to pack in the majority of my food, and add extra fruits, veggies, and whole grains to build up my glycogen stores. Ben laughed at me and said "You're CARBING UP? It's ONLY a half-marathon!" Thank you, Mr. Ultra-marathon. Anyway, that is my plan...we'll see how good I am at actually DOING it. |
