Oh the joy of a speed workout during the carbohydrate depletion phase. I hit my times which was good. I didn't feel as "empty" as I thought I would but I was by no means "well fueled". Hopefully this burned out the last stored carbs from my system. My weight has dropped to 158 but that's just a reflection of the water weight lost from the lack of carbs. It will all come back - and then some - as soon as I start carb loading late Wednesday/early Thursday. I got a good night's sleep but probably cheated myself out of an hour by delaying my bed time until 10:30.

Today it's more carb depletion (seems to make me ornerier than usual), a massage, and hopefully an early bed time.

PRE RUN
weight=158
water

POST RUN
water, multivitamin & skim milk w/ProV protein powder
