Today was my second long run of my training. Last week was 8 miles and today was 9 miles. I set my Garmin's pace to a 9:30 mile but I found that I had trouble keeping my pace that slow. I was feeling pretty good even after my run yesterday and a windy bike ride with friends yesterday afternoon. I stopped to eat a Gu gel
(Chocolate Mint... very good) at the halfway point and drink some water; that's the spike in the graph at mile five. I think the Gu contained caffeine because by the middle of mile six I started getting a new wave of energy that carried me through the rest of the run.Nutrition
Last night Handan made ground turkey enchiladas and a simple corn and peppers salad. I had some cereal for dessert and some yogurt too. This morning I had a Clif bar
(Peanut Butter Crunch) which was pretty good. After the run I enjoyed some of Handan's Lentil Noodle Soup.
