Today’s run has been brought to you by American Ninja Warrior, Spartan Team Challenge, and American Grit. The 3 shows I watched while running on the treadmill. I was just not looking forward to running in 80% to 90% humidity, so I hit the treadmill. Fun fact: I managed to maintain a faster pace than I do on the road. Very interesting.

Well, I got all my food logged for the day. % of carbs is lower than it should be ,(ie I ate too much today) but I'll have 56g which comes out to just under 3.6 grams per pound of body weight, so I might have to eat some frosted flakes to get my carbs right...LOL. Tomorrow I'll plan my eating better to get a higher percentage from carbs.

So, I miscalculated my calories/carbs/macros for the day. Carbs were 58% of calories at 508g.... but I will have eaten 3342 calories today...843 over maintenance.... But, being under my average weight for the last 4 weeks, there's no worry there... come on glycogen stores!
