thanks She!

My plan for when I was training for the half was to TRY to carb load for a few days before by grazing on Pasta of some kind all day. Not exactly the recommended eating style for a bandster, but I had pretty good restriction back then and just couldn't think of any other way to get the carbs in that I needed. They really are the only thing that fuel me for a 9+km run, I feel flat and slow if I don't eat them regularly when I am running regularly.

I had a friend who did a marathon earlier this year, she swore by having a GU gel every 5kms to get her past the 15km mark. I guess the best thing to do is try a few different combos of food/gels/energy drinks & bars and see what works!

jachut,

you look amazing! congrats on the 10K time! phenominal!!!

[Jachut 487]

Thanks!

Yeah, I quite like the Gu. The Endura, when made up in 200ml is 90 calories, my bottle holds 500 ml (so I make 400). Really, if you're running 10K what the hell does 180 calories matter? Yet I worry about that!

And still come home and have a glass of wine or two over the course of the evening.

She, my carbo loading takes days too! We went out for a Pasta pig out the night before the race last weekend and I ate about 10 strands of fettucine!

Funny how PIG OUT takes a whole new meaning when banded!

you're just lucky salsa you are still restricted without a fill. i have 1/2 my fill out and can eat a bit (when im not nauseated too much)...

i've found one thing that keeps the nause's at bay is a lime fresh fruit slush from Sonic... i went to buy one this morning and was starving and i ordered one of their Breakfast sandwiches... it was devine and ***knock on wood*** so far i havent hurled...

oh yeah, thread about running ... hmmmm ... sorry - nothing here.

I bought some of the fancy compression tights (linebreak brand) I've been thinking about buying for a while (ridiculouly expensive at $100 a pair) and wore them for a 6.25 km run today which I completed in my personal best time of 35:52 with NO knee pain. Wooooooooo! I could barely beleive it when I got home and nothing was hurting!!!

Here are my pictures from the half marathon. Too cheap to buy them so you can check out the website. I look totally constipated in the first picture...that was about .5 miles before I stopped running because of the pain. 552 FinishShots.com - Search Results

Okay...I was going to take a better picture with our camera but I just had to post this here. I just bought a new running tank top today because it was only 3$ and this is what I look like in it. Mind you...there are no binders, no pressure garments... just the shirt and my bare belly. Yeah I know...HOLY SH!T
