So I feel a little pukey this morning and flushed... I've only done this once before.... The last time was when training for the first marathon on an evening 12 mile run. I thought it would be fun to run in the horse riding sand trail along the paved path because my knees were hurting. BAD idea. Apparently it was a little more effort than I thought and I probably went to bed on an empty stomach and no recovery food... Boy have I changed.

Apparently haven't learned enough... yeaterday I got up at 6:15 and went to Starbuck's for the hubby's mocha and my skim latte. Then I left for my 13 miler and assumed that a 100 calorie latte 2 hours earlier would be sufficient. I ate when I got back but I think the damage was done. Normally I'm not all that sensitive to foods when I run but I'm finding that anything over 10 miles deserves a 200 calorie snack before hand.

I then spent the next 4 hours with a shovel in my hand at a friend's house turning her clay soil over and turning top soil into it to try to loosen up the clay. Of course I could't justify counting that exercise... because certain 'purist' I know have scared the daylights out of me.... So bottom line, I didn't prepare nutritionally for my run and I didn't eat enough to refuel yesterday.

So today, stay well hydrated, eat well and tonight I am going home and sleeping!! I will struggle today with not exercising but I am certain that this body needs the day off so I'll just have to hold at net.

PS stressing my body out = zero weight loss this weekend... ARGH!!

Hugs to all! TTFN!! ~Rebekah
