I somewhat speculatively went to yoga, but got quite dizzy and got cold sweats and cramps throughout. The funny thing about yoga is you can make it as hard or easy as you want (when you're a pro like me) and I sailed through Power Lunch. I wasn't really 'there'. I was sort of a disinterested passenger. I watched myself sweat a little, but I felt cold and aloof. Like a fly on the wall. Like a ship passing in the night. Like a tired night-shift worker dozing on the 22 bus. Like a... [FOR GODSAKES SHUT UP! - Ed]
So the winding down part of this diet and the marathon training is in full effect. I'm still going totally paleo, and it's amazing to think that I'm going to run a marathon on Sunday, without eating any carbs first... I know I can do it though. I've been eating fruit for breakfast, salads for lunch, and meat and veges for dinner, every day this week. My appetite seems insatiable, even though I haven't run since Sunday. I just need to get over this dreaded lurgie and the accompanying weakness of body and spirit.
Incidentally, the weather forecast for The Avenue of the Giants Marathon (and we're camping the night before) is RAIN! This could be a world of hurt.
I've decided that on the way back from the marathon we'll stop at a nice country diner somewhere and I'll order a cheeseburger with fries. Can you imagine it?! 7 weeks of paleo diet, then a wet marathon... followed by a great gorging on the forbidden fruits of the fabled cheeseburger.
I will video myself eating it.
It will be no less than xxx-rated food pornography.
I'm thinking about it right now...
In other news, Emma has offered to make a Paleolithic meal for me tonight! Tres bueno! Do you think it's rude to photograph a meal someone has prepared for you?
Yes, so do I.
Stand by for photos.
James, you might want to eat a few carbs in the form of starchy tubers, just to make sure your glycogen stores are topped off. Otherwise, hang in there and get healthy! Coincidentally, I came down with an acute sinus thingy a week before my first "Paleo" race of the year. Fortunately, it was in check by raceday and all went well. Can't wait to see the photos!
ReplyDeleteYou still crack me up. Keep up the posting!
Will do Steve. I'll toss a couple of turnips and some sweet potatoes in my shopping basket today. What a treat!
