Distance run and jacket potato

Alright Jane!  10 miles completed last weekend in a really good steady pace.  Only one of those miles I could not keep under 10:42.  My friend Jill was super inspiring and got me round the course.  Within 30 minutes of finishing I had my first jacket potato in a month.  It was so interesting as I felt that potato burn up immediately as I was eating it.  My metabolism kicked in and digested that thing so fast.  I do not normally pay attention to eating straight after an event.  Time flies usually and the magic window of opportunity for recovery goes by.  I liked the feeling a lot.  I wonder if I was more in tune with how my body felt just because of limited use of foods like that?

Missing hot breakfasts this week so I made chestnut flour crepes with lemon and sugar.  They were excellent so that is now on the menu for good.  As for recovery, yes my legs are tired.  That 10 miles took it out of me.  Trying for 11 this weekend.
