Unfurled

This Sunday I will run my first marathon. I’m in bed by 10pm every night; I rise at 4:30am. I take a multi-vitamin rich in antioxidants, drink at least two mugs of gunpowder green tea and eat a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries every morning. I have three slices of Piggies harvest toast with freshly ground peanut butter and blueberry jam for lunch. I eat a bowl of pasta bolognese every night. I snack on Fage fat-free plain yogurt with honey and strawberries.

All this anal-retentive living is making me just feel fat and pasta-blocked.
