Did manage to go run for nearly 40mins. Holy moly i'm outta shape. i felt good at first, but the last ten minutes, i felt like i usually do after a 3hr run. i have a feeling i just pretty much bonked from low glycogen stores. i ate a banana before i went, but that wasn't enough. So i got home, slammed a highball of water, then quaffed 22grams of carbs in Accelerade. i don't think that's cheating. In fact, i don't think i can do long runs without taking some carbs with me henceforth. That sucked. At any rate, i followed that up with a big green salad with sliced turkey, a pear, salt, pepper, rosemary, balsamic, and flax oil on. In case you're tempted to follow a hard workout up with that combo in the future, it felt like i was hit in the epigastrium with a warhammer.
Then Annie wanted to go to the park and train for running. So we went and ran a bunch. i had her do some form intervals. That li'l chick is gonna be crazy fast if she keeps that up. She beat some ten y/o boys at her homeschool group in a race, and now she's obsessed with making sure they stay beat. That's my girl. }-)

Saturday Tack-on
The bathroom scales this morning tol' me i'm down 5lbs. That's in four days. Now, i don't know how accurate my br scales are, but i'm taking it. And to be fair, i can pinch a bit less lard on the spare-tire, and i'm hungry an hour after i eat. And i feel a lot less bloated. That's a cool thing. i think i've gotten so used to being swollen that i haven't noticed it. Now if i could figure out how to completely heal my flipper-offer-finger tendon so i could crimp again.
