I am very excited to start running some longer races though!Dani- danielleislosingithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328045955399409686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4961519164232283535.post-38000428360001694882011-02-23T12:23:51.125-08:002011-02-23T12:23:51.125-08:00The conditions sounded super unfavorable!!

I had my normal sandwich, (Ezikiel bread, almond butter, nutella and bananas) then had a 1/2 of a bar before the race. <br />It was a beautiful course, i guess it is the same course as the smuttynose half too. IT is so hard when you are off your consistent running schedule. good for you for sticking it out and finishing. Using it as a training run is good practice.<br />As far as gels etc...I use hammger gel, but my friend swears by 2 or 3 mini granola bars.Rene'https://www.blogger.com/profile/03974817828630830646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4961519164232283535.post-76639098024311395052011-02-22T07:40:49.746-08:002011-02-22T07:40:49.746-08:00I love the fact that despite your pre-race conside...I love the fact that despite your pre-race considerations you still ran the race! That's awesome! I'm not sure I'd have done the same. <br />My current pre race fuel is a half bagel with light cream cheese/jam. No protein I know but this is what works for me. I also have my morning coffee in hopes that moves things along (if ya know what I mean) prior to my long run. My longest run to date is 10 miles (no long race yet for me), but I fuel before and during with Sportsbeans. I've tried Gu and just can't deal with the texture. I do like GuChomps sometimes but they are just harder to chew (I have braces and they stick). <br />My last race was an 8k...I had stomach issues. I learned that sometimes happens and not to let it get me down. I also learned to not go out too fast.kimerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908561354210742485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4961519164232283535.post-14960054672874139512011-02-22T06:51:26.024-08:002011-02-22T06:51:26.024-08:00Good run nonetheless.

I haven't ran a race since the summer so I am getting nervous about what pace I will try to run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
