I got to run with Cath this morning at 6. She's been lucky enough to find a running friend close by who runs closer to her pace and is also training for St. George. So she doens't have to do her long runs alone now I'm a party pooper. I take that as a sign that I really have made the right choice to forgo the ST. George. Darn the luck, getting in this year and now not using my number. I need to get better though. I have to figure out how to maintain a healthy weight, eat right, and keep doing what I love. I'm especially excited about experimenting during ski season. There were times last winter where I'd be really working hard, and I would just crash (energy wise). My thighs would burn and after that burn, I'd be down for the count. So I want to know if I bring and actually EAT the cliff bars I stuff into my ski parka pockets really can bring me back to life, or if I snack on them conintually during \the day if it will keep my stamina high. |
