Hunger pangs.

Is hunger all in the mind?
Bit of a silly question really, as all feelings are in the mind to a greater or lesser extent, but the question is really  - what drives you to feel hungry?  ..and I'm not sure of that one.
Since the Outlaw I seem to have eaten much more than I used to, and worse than that, a great deal of it is the rubbish, processed, unhealthy stuff that any self-respecting athlete should avoid.

That said, I have now acknowledged the fact, so I should be on my way now to a more healthy approach.  Its been 3 weeks since the Outlaw so I should have replenished my glycogen reserves etc by now.  I read an article on iron distance recovery that calculated (after inputting some arbitrary data) that my recovery time would be about 44 days, so I'm half way there.

Did a good 90 minute cyclocross stint yesterday in what were quite windy conditions.  Nothing too difficult, but a few miles of it was along part of the Ancholme that I have never explored before, and now I've been there, I won't be rushing back until they have cut the nettles.  My shins are still tingling.
