Did my 12 miler with MTT yesterday. It was a cold, drizzly & windy run - not bad conditions for a long run! I had planned to run 10 minute miles, but I felt really good so I picked it up and ran 9:30 min miles. Here is what I ate:
Friday:
pizza from Whole Foods (it was awful)
brown rice chips and lemon hummus
Saturday:
Fully charged drink
one anti-fatigue cap
bagel with cream cheese
one Hammer gel pre-run
one Hammer gel at 6 miles
water (at the SAGS)
Ran 12 miles in 1:55
Loved my Hoka Gaviotas - but I think they are best suited for shorter runs. They don't really protect my knees enough. Will run in my Elevons next Saturday and on marathon day.
Decided to stick to the full marathon distance - I'm trained for it. I need to run with an attitude of gratitude.

I'm back!
I haven't blogged in a year! Ha! I had written a year ago (actually almost two years ago) that I was going to use this blog as a way to track workouts, races and nutrition. Well - I am finally going to do that especially since I have had an up and down summer/fall in terms of workouts. It's been really hot and I have struggled with nutrition and hydration. Today was a different, happy story. It finally feels like fall in Richmond. It was about 45 degrees and breezy when I started my run this morning. I have decided to run the Richmond half instead of the full marathon. I just don't have any interest in running the full marathon right now - maybe some other year. Anyway, I rode my bike for an hour prior to my 10 mile run. I felt rested and healthy - unlike yesterday (super tired, upset tummy and pink eye....the joys of teaching). I had a great run - felt energized and strong (for me - so it's all relative).
Nutrition plan:
Dinner: Chicken critter salad with Italian dressing
Pre workout: Fully charged drink from Hammer, 1 anti-fatigue cap and one bagel with cream cheese

Post workout: recoverite
This week's workout plan:
Daily plank, sit ups, squats
M spin
