<p>Clearly not the best day for me; had to guess at quantities as I didn’t weigh/measure well today. For example, I put corn in a tossed salad at D’s request. Recorded that as one ear of corn. Nowhere close. Tomorrow’s another day, right?</p>
<p>It’s amazing how logging my food makes it easier to skip that snack.</p>
<p>I hear you idad. I crept up 5 lbs. in two weeks. I’m guessing the “healthy” energy bars that I’m eating as snacks are to blame, so I’m going to go back to counting too with MyFitnessPal.</p>
<p>I think everyone had the same running bug I had this morning after watching the marathon. Streets were full of runners!</p>
<p>I noticed more runners out than usual yesterday morning too, Ohio. Maybe the increase was Olympics inspired.</p>

<p>Very few of us can handle the sugar in energy bars and sports drinks. Unless you are burning calories at a massive rate while eating that stuff, the excess sugar is converted directly into fat (triglycerides) as the liver tries to clear the fructose. At that point, might as well be eating a candy bar or drink a Coke.</p>
<p>Having a Tall 24 oz Heineken right now. Too depressed. Life sucks.</p>

<p>That doesn’t sound good… </p>
<p>Although the cold beer sounds pretty good on a hot summer day.</p>
What’s wrong, DadII?
So happy for Meb and his awesome fourth place finish in the Olympics marathon. Nike dropped him last year because they thought he was washed up. Heh. He is so humble and wonderful.
Made it through 5 1/2 miles on mainly single track trail this morning and didn’t fall! Altitude is still killing me, but it’s so gorgeous here.
<p>I’m really worried about BCEagle. He’s never been away from our thread this long. I hope everything is OK.</p>
<p>Agree with MOWC. Does anyone here know him IRL?</p>
<p>Or maybe, like Forrest Gump, once he took off running, he just didn’t want to stop.</p>
<p>His last post in this thread was Wednesday at 2:30 PM.</p>
<p>He posted at 9:30 am on race day (Thursday) in a another thread. I’m concerned, too.</p>
<p>BC, we’re thinking of you. Take care.</p>
<p>I’ve figured out who many posters are IRL, but not BCEagle!</p>
<p>BC, phone home please.</p>

That’s assuming I go to bed early and skip the midnight snack. According to the weather man, tomorrow is the best shot at a sunny hiking day, so I’m looking at bagging a peak on the Kancamagas Highway:

It’s a long drive (2 hours), but a manageable hike (I think) of 4.8 miles. The Over-50 Hiking Group did it recently as a “Moderate” hike, which is the kind of mountain hiking I’ve been doing. I want to try to get these more distant hikes in while the days are long and the weather warm. I have my headlamp in my pack, but I really don’t want to use it for hiking!
<p>hike looks great!</p>
I did a bit better today.

Need to work on getting the carbs down, but can’t go much higher on the fat. Painful to record everything, but a useful exercise.
<p>iDad, we’ll look forward to your post-hike report. :)</p>
<p>MOWC, sounds like it’s breathtaking beauty.</p>
<p>Trackers, one and all, good job!</p>
