I've just pigged out on more calories today that I usually eat in a month. I've eaten cereals,bananas,sandwiches,pasta,bread all washed down with a high carbohydrate energy drink. I feel as fat as Pavarotti. I've probably put on so much weight, that just getting to the start on Saturday is going be a challenge. But it's energy I need in vast quantities to get round them hills, and I'm not taking any chances on this one. Since the last marathon, I had a fairly easy week (about 30 miles total), then a slightly harder one (40 miles), then I started to get a bit of Knee 'jip' so eased off massively taking a whole 3 days off. Then I cycled a day, and ran again last weekend, only slow and a maximum of an hour. So it's been all quite slow, shortish runs. And now I'm just carbo-loading for Marathon #4 !!
It'll be interesting to see what happens this time. Will I spring up the hills with energy filled muslces, fuelled by my two-day pasta binge? Or will I burp and fart my way around, perhaps stopping for a kip at the halfway stage. Who knows.
Whatever happens on Saturday, I will have to either rethink or repeat, as Marathon #5 is only three weeks after Saturday ! and if you thought that was bad, Marathon #6 is just three weeks after that.
6 weeks and 2 days from today, I will have run THREE MORE MARATHONS.
Just imagine how much pasta that will equate to.
