The hard part for me will be the food bit. Looks like omlette for breakfast.

Agreed, G-Man. I'll eliminate bread, pasta and rice for sure, but beer ...

This is somewhat of a relief.  

I was out running this morning (5 miles up onto the Kingston Ridge) reflecting on the amount of beer I’ve drunk over the last couple of days (still in the bar at 1am on Thursday morning) and the impact that this was having on this morning’s run (knocked a good min/mi plus off the pace).

But my reflection was along the lines of: “isn’t it a good job I run to balance the beer intake” – I take you back to the “scientific” principles of the BMR. 

It certainly was not along the lines of: “I’d better give up beer as part of a carb reduction programme” – as that would be complete madness.  

So as I was falling in a barely controlled manner down the hillside this morning, I was thinking about three of my running heroes who have all stated on here in recent days that they are cutting out carbs (beer) and I had to conclude that either they had to leave these hallowed pages, or it was time for me to go.

Hence my relief that the Goat is well and truly being dragged through the dust behind the wagon with little to suggest he is going to climbing on board in the near future.  I’ll drink to that. Cheers
