So, yeah. Carbs made their reappearance into the pre-race diet in the last 24 hours. I lurves my quinoa and my rice and my spaghetti. And I immediately felt better physically. But also gained about 2.5 pounds overnight, after having maintained a constant weight during Christmas, the subsequent vacation, and even during the marathon taper. How is it possible to eat one wafer thin mint weighing a mere ounce and balloon up more than a kilo.
OK, so that was an exaggeration. I had Chinese food.
And red beans and rice.
And Quinoa and black beans.
DON'T JUDGE!
Next to the marathon expo to get my number and gorge on all the toys and trinkets, like a sugar-highed kid in a candy store.
YIPPEEEEE!

Go fast, the greyhound you are. Chinese food has lots of sodium too - it's electrolyte loading!
Oh how I long for some Chinese. I'm staying away though since I'm only running the half and the only thing I have a chance at PRing in right now is our Biggest Loser competition.
I LOVE Quinoa!
See, you leave shoes, we all leave shoes! It should become a world-wide trade thing!
ALMOST race day... SO ready to watch you smash it, just think... if you can do 100 multiplication tables in a minute you can run 26.2 in like 3hours or something :)
Excitement growing....! Have a fantastic race!
