Next Sunday is the day that the Gold Coast Marathon is held. I decided to challenge the carbo-loading yesterday. In Carbo-loading, I'm supposed to eat many carbohydrates 3 days before the race starts. However, I have to stop eating carbohydrates until 3 days before the marathon. The reason is that once I make my physical condition of lack of energy, my body will become easy to absorb carbo-hydrate (energy). I'm going to a lot of carbohydrates, pasta, pizza, and so on from this coming Friday. I have to resist my feeling of hunger that will attack me. Also, I'm going to drink protein to avoid making my muscle small.
On a different note, I was taught that my first to fourth foot finger have ringworm of the nail. Firstly, I thought it was shoe sore because of continuation in jogging. However, a Japanese volunteer, who is working at the Vila central hospital as a nurse, told me that it was not the shoe sore but the trichophytosis unguium. It was shocking and embarassing for me. I don't have any pain, but to cure it, I have to continue to take medicine over half a year. Unless I cure, I have a possibility to infect it to other people. I heard it's difficult to cure it in Vanuatu, so I have to keep my foot as clean as possible until I go back to Japan.
If you have a time, please read and correct the following entries.

I decided to challenge the carbo-loading yesterday.
"Challenge" sounds kind of funny. "Begin carbo-loading" or "try carbo-loading" might be better.
The reason is that once I make my physical condition of lack of energy, my body will become easy able to absorb carbo-hydrates (energy) more easily.
"make my physical condition of lack of energy" >> Hmmm, this is a difficult phrase to fix without rewriting it.
Try something like, "...once my body becomes used to its lack of energy..."
I'm going to eat a lot of carbohydrates, pasta, pizza, and so on from this coming Friday.
Also, I'm going to drink protein to avoid making my muscles small.
On a different note, I learned that my first to fourth toes have ringworm of the nail.
足の指 = toe
First, I thought they were shoe sores from of my continuous jogging.
However, a Japanese volunteer, who is working at the Vila central hospital as a nurse, told me that they were not the shoe sores, but the trichophytosis unguium.
I think it's okay, but "shoe sore" isn't really a term used very often in English. I usually hear just "sores" or "sores from wearing shoes."
It was shocking and embarrassing for me.
I don't have any pain, but to cure it, I have to continue to take medicine for over half a year.
"for half a year" or "over the course of half a year" = 6 months
"for over half a year" = more than 6 months
I wasn't sure which one you meant.
Unless I cure it, I have a possibility of infecting it to other people.
"of infecting other people"
or
"of spreading it to other people"
Either one is okay.
If you have a time, please read and correct the following entries.
Or, "If you have the time."
In that case, "Once I empty my physical energy..."
>> "from of something"... I'd like to remember it.
OOPS! I forgot to remove "of." It should read, "First, I thought they were shoe sores from my continuous jogging." Please ignore the "of." I made a mistake.
