I am just a half-week past induction and I have a 10 mile running event coming up in two weeks. I usually "wog"--walk and jog, more walk. My friends are encouraging me to blow-off Adkins and do the traditional carb-out the week before the run. I do not want to. I have lost some weight already, my clothes fit better and, in general, I feel better. I have noted that my craving for sweets is gone and that I have a lot more general energy during the day. But I am concerned about sustained energy. I went on a 40-mile very hilly bike ride last weekend and the last 1/2 of the ride was a real slog! Had a lot of trouble getting up those hills. Any suggestions for getting through the 10-miler? I am not looking to win, place, or show nor even for a PBR. I just want to survive and limp across the finish line.
