I'm sure it's going to take a while for my body to really settle down. I intentionally ate a bit carb heavy a few days this past week before the race. Obviously, I got LOTS of calorie expending exercise yesterday--but I also ate like a (race)horse. Kept fueled up during the race with lots of gatorade, protein bars, a handful of peanut M&Ms, and a couple cups of blessedly warm coffee. Afterwards, Hannah and I went to dinner at Tim's Cajun Kitchen; where I celebrated and devoured an oyster poorboy with onion rings and bread pudding. Back to more sensible eating again today. :)

Yeah; I'm still feeling good about this. :)

I bought myself a new pair of running shoes today because I've got over 500 miles on the pair I bought back in November. (596.75 miles if you wanna add it up) And, besides, I doubt I'll ever get yesterday's mud washed out of them!! Another pair of Nikes, a Men's model this time because I preferred the grey and green color scheme over the equivalent Women's silver and pink...and the guys' shoes were 20$ cheaper. Hannah was nice and bought me a new exercise outfit too.
