Carbo Loading

I am in my final preparations for my first marathon this Sunday. I have started carbo-loading.

It is a strategy to maximize my glycogen stores for race day. At long distances, maintaining your fuel supplies becomes an important key to completing the race. Run out of fuel too early and you will probably hit “the wall”

I had a fantastic carb-heavy dinner, including pasta with sun-dried tomato, asparagus, chicken-breast, alfredo sauce along with ultimate twice baked potatoes along with some strawberry almond spinach salad.

I feel great, drank lots of water and now I’m off to some solid sleep. Only two more sleeps!

P.S. – Thanks for all the donations. Including cash donations, I think I may have made my goal of $3000. You can still donate! Every contribution (big or small) makes a big difference in the lives of those less fortunate than us.
