	I am running tonight at 7:30 pm gmt, it is now 11am. I am just wanting your advice on what I should eat from now and drink right up to I race. It is a 4 mile race, so quick. What is best to have for my lunch and before etc (food and drink wise). Many thanks. I will be posting a race report.

On a race this short I'm not sure that it matters very much besides not eating too close too the race and staying well hydrated throughout the day.

	For a short race like this, its much better to eat less than more. Go with a small all-carbo lunch -- fats and proteins take too long to digest.

	I learned this lesson just last week. DO NOT have 3 beers and a buffalo chicken cheese steak the night before running a 5k. My stomach was not very user friendly at all, and the heat of the 10 a.m. race did not help. Live and learn.

What is best to have for my lunch and before etc (food and drink wise). I would just stick to what you normally eat and what keeps your stomach calm and happy. If the race is at 7:30, I would (personally), eat a bowl of oatmeal with some almonds and honey around 5:30 and drink some water. Good luck!

	I had whole wheat french toast with real maple syrup the night before my most recent race (25k). I felt AWESOME the next day! I think that will be my pre-race supper for every race, now. k

It really wasn't all that funny!! But I'm glad that I amused someone at least. Normally I have a gyro for lunch two days prior (it's becoming a tradition) and then the night before I have pizza...plain pizza, no beer.
