Today was our Marathon clinic night so we got a little talk before heading out to do our 6km Tempo run. Our topic was on Nutrition and it was interesting to see how much we can eat. Sure we still have to watch what types of food to eat but because of all the running we get to eat Carbs! A lot of it will burn off during our runs. The Nutritionist who came in to speak to us will be back closer to our race day to help us through the last few weeks of our training and what to expect for the day of the race.

Our 6km went well, most of the snow and ice were cleared off, the only thing we had to worry about was the red lights. It seems like we always get stuck at the red lights which doesn't really help with our Tempo runs as we are suppose to run slightly faster than normal and straight through. But we all got through it and could all still carry on a conversation at least with a few breaths in between words. We will be back out tomorrow for our 10km Tempo run, it is supposed to be a nice 9°C so I am looking forward to the beginning stages of un-layering my clothes. I may even wear a ball cap instead of a toque. How crazy am I?
