Nutrition was a hot topic on this morning’s run with Dave. Although neither of us possess much knowledge on the subject of biology, chemistry or nutrition (I think the debate is still open on whether or not nutrition is an actual science), we both whole-heartedly agree on one thing — our diet greatly affects our running and workouts. I have had a couple of long runs lately that I have struggled on (see Atlanta Marathon Training Update) and I know that my total loss of self-control gross gluttoness behavior poor eating decisions on the days leading up to the run played a major role. The most memorable was the Run the Reagan Half Marathon a few weeks back. I didn’t think they would actually have the race due to the snowy and icy conditions in Atlanta, so I opted to go for the “Killer Dog” (a footlong hotdog covered with fries, chili and cheese – ummm) for dinner at the Lenox Square Grill. No, there were no “issues” (I know what some of you guys are thinking) during the race, but I just didn’t feel right from the start. I finished, but it was slow and painful.
