From Will's place to the office in the morning. 4H! Legs feeling very tired... Average pace: 9:15 Man, that route seems hillier every time I do it! Or maybe it's the heat and humidity... My colleague Mike was coming back from his run as I was walking into the office. His training for Marine Corps is going well, I helped him modify a novice guide from Hal Gigdon to fit his schedule better, cause he's also a commuter biker and he has two young and active twin girls.  He asked me how to get more energy during long runs so I told him about the gu... he said this weekend he had 3 gu's during his 15 mile run... hmmm.... that seems a bit excessive to me but I don't think it can hurt him, right? 

Plan on biking to school after work and then home.

Happy running bloggers!

Yeah, that seems like a lot of GU! I don't even use one until the run is over 10 miles. But he's a guy and I have heard that guys maybe need one every 1/2 hour, whereas lower weight individuals like most women, every 45 minutes.

Is your marathon still on?

That's a good point Auntie... guys are less resistant than us :)

Eric, the marathon is still on... If I don't qualify I will be pretty close, and I'll try another one a few months later... But I'll do some speed work and put in lots of miles throughout September to try and get faster...

Are you coming to cheer me on? Bonnie is coming!

Heh, heh. Yup, they sure are.
