The Hunger

I am not speaking metaphorically here. I'm talking being on my bike and having visions of taking the Sawzall to our peanut butter jar and sawing the narrow top off so I can stick my face right into raw peanut butter and devour every last creamy chunky bit of it.

It's that time of year - the miles and hours are ramping up. Anyone else experiencing the hunger?

YES!! Funny you should mention peanut butter. I was just thinking as I finished up the last of my PB yesterday that I have going through a lot of it over the past 5 months. WAY more then normal!

OH my YES!!! After 13 miles today I just had to have a fish sandwich. I never eat those things, but running along I spotted the billboard and knew it was gonna happen. It was semi-healthy; it had tomato on it and it was whole wheat bread....

Hey be careful with that saw! (you could ruin some of the PB.:-))

Tons of sales on "bars" lately have left them stacked up around here.. I think I'm finally going to be putting dents in the piles again.

Of course I might be switching to bloks this year..

Sawzall.. nice touch. :)

Still reeling a little from the flu-the PB picture isn't quite working for me...but I do remember last season waking up in the middle of the night so hungry I couldn't sleep. I'd get up, grab a little snack and fall back asleep almost instantly-wierd. I really enjoyed your previous post about teaching-it fuels my fire a little more to jump into the ring.

I think I have an Iron Tapeworm.

I feel like that when I get home after a big swim....and eat everything in sight. I guess I haven't gone the mileage on foot or bike yet for the same hunger pangs after those workouts.

addendum to previous comment...

3 hours yesterday in the saddle.
2.5 hours today in the saddle and a 30 min run.

NOW, I gots the hunger! :)

In training or not, I'm always hungry.

That's a great mental picture.

I get in that mood for DQ Hamburgers (there's a DQ 10 miles from home on my favorite bike trail).

I had the Hunger today after a good swim. But then I came home and ate everything in my house!

But I deserve it. And so do you!
