Weigh-in: It’s carbo loading time!

It was a public holiday yesterday and for once the Auckland weather cooperated quite nicely. It was a glorious day – perfect for running.

I did a nice easy 10K (10.2K in 58:59) down by the waterfront with only 2 short yet steepish hills.  It’s quite nice that even though I concentrated on taking things easy I still managed to come in in under an hour.  I guess I just had plenty of running in me!

I’m supposed to be in a taper this week as my half marathon is on Sunday.  So I’ll only be doing 2 easy 5Ks before having 2 days of rest before the half.

Onto the weigh-in.  This last week started off reasonably well but went downhill a bit.  We had a work Christmas function and then a private preChristmas gathering at home on Sunday and on both days my thoughts of moderation went out the window for some reason.  Having said that, the overall result was no real gain or loss so I’ll take that.  I don’t expect to lose any weight this week and won’t be trying to.  I’m going to be concentrating on reasonably high carb meals to ensure that I’m adequately fuelled for my run.
I’m up to $722 for the Heart Foundation of New Zealand now. I’ve discovered that I qualify for a free massage after the event so I’m going to take them up on that!

I hope things are going well for all of you as well.
