Blogger ... I've missed you! Between social obligations and -heh- training (I swear I live at the gym), I've managed to let reflecting and sharing about the journey take a back burner. But (for me) this is a very important part of the process. So here's what I've been working on:
The last session I had with my coach, we discussed food. There are some changes I have to make on a day to day basis, for example I need to eat a hearty breakfast. Also I need to figure out what I can stomach on race day.
Well, I've been the definition of a bad student prepping for a race today. I drank the night before, stayed up late, didn't get up in time to eat, and ran it dehydrated and a little hungover. Don't worry, my body at the end of the race felt bad enough to tell me to not do all that again just before a race :)
Anyway, now I'll try to keep track of what I'm eating as well as the workouts.
