10K day

Not like a 10K is anything to name a whole day after, but still… So I started the day off with mega coffee loading, and then I caved and ate the entire granola bar that I bought from whole foods 2 days ago. Plus a banana, and dried cherries, and the last of the yogurt covered raisins. Oh, and another glass of milk.
I have already had an entire days worth of kcals! Wtf! Looks like I am ready for a bomb ass race with all that food energy.



I was fuller than I wanted to be before I left for the race, but I guess that kind of punishment is the only way I am going to learn to keep my shit in check.

The race was AMAZING. I felt like a super star, I ran it (6.2 miles) in 46 minutes, which is averaging 7 ½ minute miles. Way better than I expected. Plus the rush of excitement and intense emotions that overwhelmed me as I crossed the finish line were better than any high I have ever had. Hooray for natural endorphins!

Dinner was soup. I didn’t feel like anything, but I knew I had to eat something after such a work out…I had to wait forever because my stomach was acting up, but even after eating such a safe thing like soup I felt weird all night. I had 2 of these Progresso cans of veggie lentil soup, which normally I wouldn’t because I don’t think they are very healthy because of all that sodium. After sweating like crazy though and running forever, I think salt was just what I needed to keep my fluids – I also had about 6 bottled waters and propels before going to bed. I just couldn’t get enough liquids! (it makes sense)
