It's hard to sleep when you're not completely exhausted. That's what I've decided. I've also decided that white sugar is pure evil. I think I'm really past it now for good. I ate some candy corn yesterday without really thinking about it. I brushed it off as harmless, and then as an afterthought, read the ingredients. It had, not just sugar and corn syrup as I expected, but partially hydrogenated palm/cottonseed oil. And then, that was all I could think about. This morning --even if it was psychological--I felt gross for like two miles into my run. It felt like a nice easy run, and I was going without my Garmin. But then I bumped into Sasha who said I was going too fast. It would be good to have more control of my running -- run a harder, faster sustained distance, and keep it cool on days when I should be taking it easy. I'm just so undisciplined at heart. It's dissapointing to find these things out about youself, right before a big race. I just only ever run according to how I feel and how I feel about the weather. Sasha said he was only feeling OK right now. But that's probably because he just ran the Top of Utah last week (10 times in a row I might add, placing 1st twice and averaging 2:34 over a 10 year span). It was really good to catch up with Sasha this morning and get a little shot in the arm. I can't wait to meet other bloggers in SG on Friday. I hope we all have a good week and a great race. It's supposed to be 90 degrees. I guess that's good motivation for GETTING IT OVER WITH fast! |
