Time for "taper madness"! This run went fine except for my left hamstring which I apparently tweaked on Tuesday's run. I didn't notice it at the time but it's been something of a nuisance ever since. It doesn't keep me from running but I am concerned it is the weakest link in my physical chain.

Carbo loading is going well. I think this is my best load ever. I had a little struggle yesterday consuming enough and feeling bloated. But by the end of the day I got all my carbs. The scale showed a 2 pound gain over yesterday so I'm hoping that consists entirely of carbohydrates and water. I'll take another 2 pounds today if I can get it.

Tuesday
1,475 kCal

I wanted to "feel fast" this morning so I dusted off the old Mizuno Musha's. They felt light on my feet and helped me get off to a good start. Running intervals while in the glycogen depletion stage is not the most pleasant thing but I was able to focus and hit all my times. I actually felt pretty good out there today.

Yesterday's nutrition went okay. I generally made all my objectives with only a light headache throughout much of the day.

kCal = 1662
Protein = 48%
Fat = 46%
Carbohydrate = 7% (28g by my count)

One more day then I'll flip the switch tomorrow and start loading.

I'm also very happy to report that this morning I weighed in at 153.5 reaching my 155 race day goal yesterday. Once the loading starts I'll likely gain at least a couple pounds back but I'll be happy to use it along the course Saturday.

Typical week-before-a-marathon questions swirling in my head during this morning's run. How am I going to do this? What is my "true" fitness level? Has my training been adequate? etc. etc. etc. Needless to say a lot of doubts and uncertainty.

Started glycogen depletion yesterday. Will continue today and tomorrow. Wednesday through Friday will be dedicated to carbohydrate super saturation. Oddly, I'm looking forward to the dietary challenges the week presents.
