(Long-sleeve ((LAST DAY OF THE ATHLETA SALE!!)), shorts)
5 miles first thing in the morning and then the hot tub afterward to relax.
Beck found his zen.
I randomly came across my Sevilla arm warmers that came in our bags. Can I tell you a big life regret that I have? I didn’t buy sweatshirts at the Budapest or Sevilla marathon expos. I so wish that I had. Learn from me, buy the race memorabilia… don’t regret it for the rest of your life like I will mine.
These arm warmers reminded me that I went from training during Utah’s winter to this race where we finished in the 75° F and in humidity… and I survived. I’ll be completely fine on Saturday in dry heat!
Honest question… do I rent my friend’s headband for Saturday that the athletes used at the Paris Olympic Marathon?!
I hit my 493 grams of carbs! The key is eating all day long. I still drank my green smoothie yesterday, and I will today, too, but I will skip it on Friday because of allll of the fiber. The smoothie has about 45 grams of carbs, so it still fit in well, but everything else was pretty simple… and many gummy bears were included throughout the day, too (23 grams per serving)! I do not know how I ever completed a marathon in my disordered days while running on empty <– why my femurs broke.
Also, the Wendy’s baked potato works real nicely for the carb load, too.
I went to Athlecare to get my hamstring worked on (dry needling… not my favorite feeling in the world) and decided to try the hyperbaric oxygen chamber while there. One hour of stillness and alone time was probably just as good for my mental health as my physical health.
My ears felt like I was scuba diving in the beginning, and I had to equalize them!
Oh, and three more pictures from a different night that I forgot about…
October skies are something else. And these women on the field inspired me a lot for Saturday. SO fierce.
Seeing the world through little eyes is my favorite way to see it. A high-five from Cosmo made his life.
Am I alone in thinking they look so alike?! I love their bond.
