Well, this week, let’s just say my many idiotic mistakes humbled me
I was definitely above the normal range for stupid decisions this week. The biggest mistake I made was with my running. I wanted to sleep in on Sunday morning, so I decided to do my long run Saturday late afternoon/evening. The only problem was that I didn’t have a carb load before hand, didn’t eat enough that day, and didn’t drink enough that day. But I ran 16 miles anyway using water and a power gel. I actually felt pretty good until about mile 14. I slowed down quite a bit and did finish the run. Thankfully after my run, my foot and muscles were fine, but I was EXTREMELY nauseous. After about an hour I ate a banana and finally felt a little better. It probably took about an hour and a half afterwards before I felt hydrated and my stomach felt normal. I pretty much did everything wrong in preparation for that run. The worst part is that I know the right things to do, I just didn’t do them. I was pretty much an eejit. Oh well. It makes life interesting and it’s always fun to see JR’s reaction when I do stupid stuff like that. Here’s a pic of a dead armadillo – southern road kill for those of you in AZ.
