so i once had a friend tell me that when he wants to quit smoking, he tells as many people as he can. That way, he feels accountable and knows people will be watching him. Well now, i have my friends at work looking at my blog too. They like to see what weird things I eat. I figured if more people are watching what i eat, maybe i'll eat better. Or maybe it will be just the opposite. maybe i'll eat worse just to entertain them. Today felt really good to sleep in past 5:45am since i'm tapering. Melissa has been making Yerba Mate in the mornings which totally makes my day. i love mate. i've been rolling on the foam roller for an hour every night. Focusing on the quads, lower back, and IT bands. Trying to drink lots of water too. Miss the gym and all the good peeps already and its only been a day. Miss hearing Cofy sing along when Jayz comes on the ipod, miss John and Nathan arguing about who lives in a rougher hood. Miss Stephen saying "respect" in a really cool way that i could never replicate. Miss seeing Nadine's blue bike by the bushes. Miss Evan's hilariousness and great urban adventure stories. Miss all the other people too who see me each morning with the slime in the corner of my eye and dont laugh too much. ok, i'm getting sappy now. I need to toughen up for the marathon. Trying to decide between gu or gel brands. There are some that taste better than others but there are also some with Cafeine. i think Cafeine could go a long way. Heck, if someone under a bridge is selling anything the day of the marathon that will help, i may even consider that. i'm kidding. i don't want to be accused of cheating if i do end up beating oprah. i'm going to try eating good carbs the next couple of days. i've cut down on coffee and up on water. i'm still at work keeping electricians company as we put a super fancy surge protection system on the building.
Workout:
may go buy a new ipod and then watch Dexter
Diet:
1 large Enchilado Style Baja Fresh Vegie Burrito
1 fantastic cookie.
Crap, thats all i've had all day. i need more. Melissa is at her performance class and Hannah's with Rhonda tongith so maybe i'll go get a burrito on my own.

DO NOT CHANGE THINGS RIGHT BEFORE THE MARATHON. I REPEAT, DO NOT CHANGE THINGS RIGHT BEFORE THE MARATHON.
No new shoes, no new clothes, no new goo. Eat what you've been eating while you've been on your training runs.
