Today I only went 3 but felt great!! I was happy before when 3 felt like a piece of cake and I feel that way again. Even with the hills and pushing Anna, I just really felt good today. The plan was to do 4.5 again but when I got up and looked at the clock I realized I had hit the snooze to many times. Anyway, I tried a caramel powergel today. I took 1/2 about 5 minutes before I left and then the rest at about 1 mile. I think with only 3 miles, it wasn't a very good test of the stuff, but I want to get my stomache used to both those and to drinking more water. I will keep trying them and especially on the longer runs. I did get a bit of a side ache at 2.5 and that could have either been the water or the gel, I don't know. If anyone has in-site on how to use the stuff, I would be glad to hear. Thanks. Glad to be running again!! |
