Pasta Party!

Well I've just been to my first ever pasta party. Don't I sound WILD!

It was just me, my mum/dad/brother eating lots of pasta bake for me to load up on carbohydrates for tomorrows run!

I ate around 1kg (ok more like 200g of pasta but it was ALOT) - this better work. If I wake up with no energy tomorrow morning I may cry and refuse to get out of bed.

Had my final dress rehearsal as well to see what me and my dad will be running in and we honestly look a picture! You won't miss us coming for sure our outfits are blinding!

Right off for an early night now to reserve my energy for that early start in the morning. Eeeekkk!!

This time tomorrow I will have completed my first ever 10k - I still can't believe this is actually happening! Sunday's are meant for a lie-in, relaxing sort of day and here I am donning my trainers and off for a mere 10 kilometre run! This is Insanity personified!

I keep talking as though tomorrow is my execution day and I'm sat here on death row. I keep going 'Right this is my last sleep/meal/shower before tomorrow'(then I pull a grimace face like it will actually be my last day on Earth!)

I pray that it isn't, I don't want to leave this world wearing a tutu, leg warmers and a bright green vest. I do have some dignity left somewhere in me!

A runners breakfast?

Now with race day looming and to tie in with my previous post about Stitch and not being able to eat for up to 3 hours before running. The big question I'm putting to you is what do I do about food on race day?

The 10k begins at 11am, and obviously I will have to eat before so I don't collapse, but what should I be eating at 7.30/8am on that morning to give me enough energy to last right through till at least 1.30pm (when I hope to finish)?

Any one got any suggestions? Maybe porridge and banana? Cereal bars?

Let me know what you eat before a long day/exercise to give you that all important energy boost! I need as much energy as I can get to get round the course. Help me!
