FBG (05:30) 4.6

Breakfast (5.30 am): Porridge (almond milk), peach, raspberries, pecans {272 Cal / 38.2g Carbs}
...............................Half marathon [not timed]
It is quite seldom that I get no pleasure from morning exercise but today when putting my shoes on I had a strong desire to just stay in the warmth of the house. So instead of 10 km I did 21km and hated every moment in the wind and rain. Glad afterwards, I would have felt really lazy all day if I had given in.
If I had to force myself very often I'd probably give up, I do usually enjoy the bad weather in a funny way.
Snack (7am): Banana {72 Cal / 16.4g Carbs}
Eaten during the run
Breakfast 2 (8am): Avocado, hummus, toast, grapefruit {291 Cal / 21.2g Carbs}

Lunch (12pm): Scotch broth {122 Cal / 13.7g Carbs}
Green bean & fig salad {244 Cal / 21.1g Carbs}
Plum, blueberries, yoghurt, hazelnuts {124 Cal / 11.1g Carbs}

BG (6pm) 4.5
Dinner (6pm): Thai green curry (monkfish & cashew), jasmine rice {631 Cal / 53.9g Carbs}
Persimmon, kiwi, yoghurt, pistachios {156 Cal / 17.2g Carbs}

5 cups of coffee (3 of them decaf)

Calories 1954
