What does a Track Star have for dinner 48 hours before her biggest race of the year so far?

I race Friday night at 545pm at Varsity Stadium and the two days before any big race is always the same routine for me. Unless of course I am staying in Yorkville and mere meters from one of my favorite places to eat: Sushi Inn!

This means the sustenance routine changes slightly.  Instead of the signature chewing of boston lettuce ala boiled fish,  I gave me the green light to enjoy some sushi. Yeah!




Umm No.

Because now I am sitting here super lethargic and fat as a tick bursting at the gut. I ate way too much grilled cod, Crab, Unagi, Spider roll,  Sushi inn roll, Tempura roll, this and that roll...



Like really, who does that? I know better (well at least at race time).  And this is why I don't eat my favorite foods leading to a track meet, because I simply love food too much. I cant' see it go to waste. "I paid $8.95 for that last piece of fried yam in egg batter, no you won't clear this plate!"

...I can't stand to see a waitress throw food away. Especially food that is going on my Visa card. Not one strip of seaweed not one rice grain has ever gone to waste when I sit at a sushi dinner. And herein lies the problem.





Sigh. But a lesson learned. 

Thursday night @ T-minus 24 hours, I will definitely be chewing something very green and very bland. Thinking Artichoke with a side of hay!

So So Sleepy....
