Carbo Loading

When you train for a marathon, they say you are supposed to pay attention to what you are eating. Well, I never thought I would be training for a marathon, so I never really took that advice seriously. I always think of "carbo loading" as something that serious athletes do or people who THINK they are serious athletes do (e.g. Michael Scott in The Office eating (and then puking) fettuccine alfredo before running a 5k). I put myself into the second category.

Although I put myself into the second category, I do, even though it seems nuts, belong in the first category. I am running around 30 miles per week now which makes me a "serious athlete". So, Saturday afternoon, Mike and I went to the OG to carbo load. Thanks to Nancy, the best non-grandma in the world, we had a fantastic dinner :) Afterward, we went home, moved our clocks forward, and went to bed as early as possible.
