Day off & dinner, pre LWF 8km

What a weird sensation; Saturday morning, almost 7am and I was till in bed! First time all year (other than two sessions when I was in LA) that I haven't gone for a Saturday morning longrun with the Brisbane Buddies. Felt quite strange and I must admit, I was a little bit lost as to what to do before 10am, the time I usual start my normal day!

I'd decided to use the 8km as a test to what to eat/drink pre-race in preparation for the GC half. Being just 8km, this mainly just was drinking a lot of water throughout the day, with some Gatorade for variety too.

Tesso had booked us in for pasta & pizza with some of the Cool Runnings gang that evening. It was great to talk to some more experienced runners and get their take on things, and also just to chill out before the race. http://www.coolrunning.com.au/gallery/Brisbane-LWF-2005-Pasta-Night/Ciaran_and_Chelle
