I use running as an excuse to eat whatever I want. Figuring that I will burn the calories off on the treadmill allows me to think it is OK to eat all kinds of sugary crap which I love. I'm pretty good about eating well be for a long run or a race, but have a tendency to slack off when I'm not in tip top training shape.
This week I've been working on a project at work where we've basically been sequestered in a conference room with food catered in. I managed to eat what I thought was a relatively safe veggie sandwich for lunch. And then ended up eating a half of a bag of chips and a bite sized candy bar before leaving for the gym. This combo of foods did not treat me well...I had the worst acid reflux on the treadmill. It was so bad that I had a hard time catching my breath because of the burning. It was difficult to get enough air in me to keep going. I had planned to run 4 miles, but didn't make it that far.
Next time, no candy bars and chips!
