Cotton Candy and Kettle Corn (aka Carbo-loading)


Today my daughter had a field trip to the county fair. Like most county fairs, it was pretty boring. The kids had fun looking at all the animals there. They had some kind of animal exhibit with red kangaroos and opossums and other animals. They also had your standard 4h animals, too, with tons of pigs and goats.

Our favorite part, and no county fair experience would be complete without, was all the yummy crap food - cotton candy (and more cotton candy we bought again later to bring home, we're huge fans here), kettle corn, soda, nachos, hot dogs, ice cream, shaved ice. Ugh, my stomach hurts remembering it all. But come on, when in Rome, right?




For someone who has to run 13.1 miles the day after tomorrow, I sure haven't been making the wisest decisions in regards to my fueling. Hm, perhaps I should try and drink some water today.

Martin and I saw The Hangover 2 last night. Then we snuck in to see the midnight showing of X-Men First Class. Eye candy galore! Unfortunately I didn't get to bed until 3 am this morning and had to wake up at 7 to get myself and the kiddos ready for the field trip. Needless to say, I hit my bed some time in the early afternoon when we got home and didn't wake up until a little past 5 pm feeling disoriented and groggy as naps often make me feel. Ugh.

***Marathon training
I understand that reading about my marathon training can be boring as hell, so I thought I'd just put it at the bottom of my posts. It's just so easy to keep track of it here as opposed to writing it down in my journal. Today I'm supposed to do 30 minutes of cross-training. I think I'll do Insanity's Core Cardio Conditioning and Balance, or whatever the hell it's called. It's been so long I can't remember. It's the one you do on recovery week. Or is it the one you do to recover midweek? Whatever. I'll do it tonight. I just need something easy because my hammies are sore from yesterday's strength-training. Yay! They're getting stronger!
