I'm going to have to voluntarily extend this meatless month for a few days, believe it or not. However, it won't be a COMPLETE ban on meat. Let me explain.
I am signed up for the Yakima River Canyon Marathon on April 4th, 4 days after I planned to eat nothing but meat for a solid 24 hours. But then I realized.... making drastic changes to your diet just before a 26.2 mile run is not smart. Some say "neither is running 26.2 miles" but to them? I say "try it before you knock it" and I usually don't hear anything more from them. But about this diet changing thing.
One thing I've noticed is that.... well, digestion "works" better or something when there is no meat involved. I'm afraid that if I go back to eating meat at 2 meals per day just before this marathon, my body will get all "what the hell?" and I'll "experience" the meat differently than I would like. I'm just not going to say more than that.
I'd say "somewhere out there, a chicken is thanking me for this." However, I know this is not true. In reality, someone else is going to eat that chicken. But I know Chip is thanking me and that is good enough, really.
