I NEVER eat chocolates, yet yesterday was a serious cravings day and no, I'm not pregger's.....too old for that sport's fans....
After a particularly stressful day at work, I headed off to my chiropractor's appointment. My doctor has been working on an old ankle injury that has just flared up again unexpectedly. It is not really my ankle but in-between the ankle bone and foot on both sides. Originally caused a million years ago from an equestrian fall, it has been pretty "stable", sorry for the pun, the last twenty years or so.
I know you're thinking that all this pounding from running all these miles must have something to do with it, I'm not ruling that out by any stretch of the imagination, but I truly don't think that has been the reason.
After all the manipulation and magic a chiropractor does, I headed home to make a really healthy dinner and do laundry (the excitement of my life is overwhelming these days). That's when it hit!!! I NEED chocolate!!
I hardly ever have junk food in my house, but I rummaged around and found a box of chocolate covered cherries that had been given to me by a client at Christmas. They were still sealed and stuffed in a cupboard.....yummy.....and no, I didn't eat them all....but I did have three and a couple of glasses of red wine.....how decadent is that???
Trust me, after my crazy misspent youth, I know I've hit middle age when I think I'm a wild thing when I've eaten three chocolates and had a couple of glasses of wine....I don't think that I'll be needing the Betty Ford Clinic anytime soon, but I do know that the pre-race jitters are starting to set in!!!
Life's fun if you don't weaken,Lily

Clearly, the chiropractor stimulated your chocolate nerve while he had your foot in his hands. (those go together right? foot rub and eating choco-cherries?)
Heh, I have some meds that will help with the jitters. I even have some that will make you say "race?!? there was a race?" LMAO
Sorry chica last one was me. But wrong account :P
I'm amazed at anyone who can manage to not keep junk food in the house LOL Chocolates and wine. Hmmmmm sound good :-)
Sounds like a great evening...chiropractor, chocolate and wine. Can it get any better then that?! I'm jealous!
I loovveee my chocolate and as a matter of fact-have a hidden stash of chocolate peanut butter ice cream in the downstairs freezer!
I guess you didn't read Vickie's blog about eating chocolate before a race. :-)
Hey next time you have one of those cravings - call me! I'll help.
Though I do like Rudy's "race" what race?" idea too.
You'll be fine!
really, you will!

You have taper madness!!! LOL...
I'm happy to take any and all chocolate off your hands. :)
Ohhh all this pre-race nerves stuff is funny because odds are all the things you think about, dream about and worry about won't happen.
All that nervous energy helps on race day too. As long as you don't hypreventilate or antyhing.
Looking forward to your race success!
I get chocolate cravings all the time. I think it is wierd for a dude, but who cares. Chocolate rules!
I hope you get the ankle thing figured out soon. Injuries and nagging pains are no fun.
I can't rememebr if this is you first marathon? Well, best of luck either way. Seems like a bunch of folks are running a marathon next weekend.
Life's fun if you don't weaken,

Isn't it a bit early for pre-race nerves? :-) Seven days to go ... enjoy your taper and nothing wrong with having a little treat now and then. Those chocolate coated cherries look very yummy.
