Will Run For Ice Cream

It's almost here.. Sunday.. the big day.. the big race. And I've been pretty much going stir crazy with the taper. My knee is still feeling a little 'off'. I'm sure it's ok. I hope it's ok.  But I've gone from giddy excitement to fear of not reaching my goal within minutes of each other this week. :)  I've heard myself say "What was I thinking?" to "Girl, you've totally got this." so many times that I've lost count. ha.  But today I was curious about carbo loading. When should I start? Is now too early? And I came across this Article from Runner's World Fill Er' Up .  It seems that the best time to start carbo loading is 2-3 days out from the race. I knew not to just 'load up' the night before. But I wasn't exactly sure when to start or how much. According to the article you need 4 grams of carbs per pound of body weight. Wow, that was more than I thought. So I'm glad I came...
