Calling all runners and running fans:

Its another early morning for me today. I was originally supposed to close this afternoon but you know, things happen and plans change...for me, however, every change is another opportunity. This afternoon I will do the run I originally had planned for tomorrow, which in turn, will allow me to be off tomorrow. With just 9 days to go until the Los Angeles Marathon, things are finally quickly winding down to the very end. Its making me anxious just thinking about the Big Day. This week coming up will find me loading up on complex carbs and electrolyte supplements to refuel for the big day. Other years I have been less informed, thinking it only mattered what you ate the day before the race. Now however, the more you read and learn you come to find out that its up to a week that you have to nutritionally plan ahead for that big day. You will be thankful you did when your back up fuel starts depleting fast past the 13 mile mark. For this purpose, I headed out to Trader Joe's and got myself a bunch of awesome food. Last night I had an amazing delicious Spicy Thai Pasta Salad with White Chicken Breast and a portion of Almonds right after my 7 mile run and exercise routine. Of course all complemented with a tall bottle of Glaceau's Smart water filled with awesome to goodness thirst quenching fun and electrolytes. I can't wait to see what's for dinner this afternoon. Trader Joe's Rocks my pants....living this lifestyle on the run, R U?
