I see I got the date and days until the Houston Marathon incorrect in yesterday's blog post. Sorry. I'm up to speed now.
This morning's run was overall pleasant. Loving the early morning coolness.
My lesson to myself: Yes, I can eat cookies once in a while. Especially given the number of calories I'm burning. Especially if they're homemade and oatmeal. No, I can't eat several the night before a longish run. I was preoccupied with the Presidential Debate. Old habits die hard. Get involved with television, munch on snacks. Aaaargh!!!
When you haven't eaten much in the way of sweets for several months, your gut tells you every step of miles 3, 4, and 5, "Don't do that!" Lesson learned. The cookies are in the freezer to be taken out in very small doses.
