One of the reasons I started this blog was so people could learn from my mistakes. You know, things like: microwaving you running clothes, heading out without taking a pre-run poo, or doing a 10 miler in a cotton t-shirt. These are all valuable lessons that I hope you don't have to experience yourself. Well, I have got another one for you.
On a day you're planning on doing your run in the evening, it's best to be careful what you eat during the day. Last night my lady-friend brought over dinner, which was incredibly generous of her. She brought the biggest pizza I have ever seen. This thing was larger than a sewer cap, it was like those pizzas the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ate. Between the two of us we managed to eat 2 1/2 slices. I hate to waste food, so I wrapped the rest up. The problem arises when I decide to continue eating it today, for breakfast, mid-morning snack, and lunch. I'll also go ahead and tell you I had a couple beers with it at lunch.
If you ever want to hate yourself every step of a 6 mile run, follow this meal plan prior to setting out. I could literally feel everything bouncing around in my gut. Lesson learned. Tomorrow is speed day, minus pizza and beer, plus Turtle Power.
New fan request: More posts about the lady-friend ;)
