Christa - At least you weren't really pregnant when you rode the donkey!!! That would have been worse than the post marathon ride (i think) I have not been the queen of xt these last few weeks either. I decided I had extra hours banked due to all the bike/adventure races i've done throughout training! I think your donkey riding and marathon ought to count for something!! Plus, you have to calorie load for your upcoming lr's (right?) I just got back from eating at Acambaro where they pretty much fry and cover with cheese all food from mexico! I ate a ton!!! YUMMIE! I don't smell so good now though. I kindof smell like 5 mile run mixed with burrito.
We actually went to krispy kreme last night (i know, that's extra bad) Anyway, I was telling phil how when i went in there once, i asked the girl at the desk about the nutritional information on an original glazed. she said she didn't have it right there but that "you would have to run like, a whole mile to burn that off." So last night, i told phil "hey, I think i could have about 18 of these!!"
Today, i did my mid week run (b/c my LR day is thurs, due to preschool) 5 miles. I did about a 9:15 pace, which is pretty good for me on a training run! That made me feel a lot better after our 11:34 15 mile sub-freezing snow and ice disaster! I needed an encouraging run after that last one. Can't wait to finish the 10/20 next wed/thurs so i can start to taper. I'm hoping it does not mess with my mind, but that i can start to recover from all of the aches and pains from the slow torture of the LR's.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and great LR's
Colleen - Give us the update on hubby's marathon soon!
