At the risk of a Jinx, I feel very ready for the race this weekend

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

Sunday's Run

I was feeling frisky, and decided early on to push myself on this run. Even though my training schedule called for a 50 minute run (which would be around 5 miles) I chose to stretch it out. And ended up doing 7 miles! And I felt good, not completely wiped at the end of it. So, at the risk of jinxing myself, I feel ready for the 10K this coming weekend. The 10 mile race in 3 weeks? Well that I am not so sure. I figure that in the intervening weekend I will try to really stretch myself, go as far as I can. But I figure there's a good chance I will end up walking some of those 10 miles.

Diet

Had a couple of relaxed days, probably ate more than I should have on Friday/Saturday. But I sat down and made my modified weekly menu, which is maybe 80% 4 hour body diet, with some added carbs on my running days to help keep my energy up and maintain the fiber intake. Did my official Total Inches measurements and weight check Saturday morning, so we will see how this all really works. It is tinkering at this point, just trying to knock off a few more pounds and maybe drop some inches from my belly.
