Life Past 30

Here it is, one week after the marathon and I am starting to feel like my old self again.  My walking pace is back to normal, my muscles are no longer sore, and my nutrition has been constant.  I’m planning on starting a training routine in around three weeks, but if I am not feeling up to it by then, I will wait until I’m ready.  As for my post-race diet, I have been eating veggies, fruit, pasta, potatoes, and brown rice.  Rewarding myself with a bag of chips was, of course, necessary and I included a couple of packs of GU for quicker muscle recovery.  Other than that, I have been watching what I eat because I don’t want to undue the benefits I’m reaping as a a result of completing the marathon.  I have been craving seafood, specifically shrimp and scallops, very badly and have been to the grocery store in search of something that will fill this void.  Last night, I ate a small dish of Alfredo pasta with carrots, red peppers, and shrimp, but it wasn’t enough.  My goal today is to find good seafood in an adequate portion.
