...CARBS! Yes, that's right, carbs. And I didn't even see it coming! (More on this later.)
Today's run - easy, easy, easy 4 miler. We took our time and just enjoyed sweating like it was going out of style! It was nice just to go out and relax on this run. I went into the run pretty nervous because of my knees from Monday. Side note: on Monday, I iced my left knee and stretched it out. This morning, I spent extra time stretching to make sure I was loose before the run. I believe this helped because my knees felt just fine. I purposely took it easy, didn't push it, didn't run any more than I needed to, just ran. What a relief! And the best news is, my knees haven't been bothering me at all today!
Now, back to the carb attack...
I had not planned on eating out today for lunch, but for whatever reason, I ended up riding along to the J-Mall. (A mall close to work that has choices for everyone when no one can agree on where to eat.) When I got there, I knew I was going to have pizza from Sbarros. While I was in line, I decided the bread sticks looked good, ordered two and made it a combo. When I sat down to eat, this hunger beast inside me took over and I tore into the pizza and bread sticks like they were the last scraps of food on Earth! This stuff never tasted so good!
After I had my fill (which by the way, there was a fair amount of a bread stick left) I realized that I had some kind of carbohydrate craving! Apparently the increase in running has set my body into carb deficiency mode. I certainly hope this does not become a daily occurrence as my weekly mileage increases, but it was a lot of fun!
The lesson I learned from this: Running is good!
