Well I can now officially cross off onion rings and nachos from my approved list of acceptable food for lunch. Tonights run was definitely not the same that it would have been had I eaten better. I usually eat pretty well but every once in a while I have to let loose and eat whatever I want. To be honest I just don't get the same enjoyment from eating crap that I used to get when I was younger although I still hold out hope that the enjoyment will be there.
I got a good dose of luck the other day when I tried to enter the Northface 50K. I logged onto Active.com only to find out that the 50K was full. At first I was pretty mad at myself because I should have registered weeks ago. After about 10 or so minutes of feeling sorry for myself I set about trying to find a new race. After about 20 minutes I found a 50K the same day in Puxatanie Pennsylvania- the same place as the town in Groundshog day. I was prepared to sign up for it but decided to e-mail the people putting on the Northface race. I got a response within 20 minutes that a spot had just opened up and that if I signed up right then I would probably get in. Sure enough I made it in. Now if only a little bit of that luck can continue on race day.
I have put in a good week so far this week with three days of running, one of which was a hill workout. I will run tomorrow and then do a long run on Saturday of 2:15. I bought a new camelbak catalyst and Powerbars carbohydrate drink that I want to try out so I am excited.
5 weeks until the Northface 50K which is the first test to see how my training is going. I can't wait!!!!
Happy Trails,
Robert
