This morning I set out to run 8 miles on the W&OD Trail. However I knew that I wasn't fueled appropriately. I felt "light" and even though I had a ClifBar and a GU gel before I left I didn't feel like I was adequately prepared. After the fourth mile (at the turn-around point) I could tell it was going to be a struggle to get back. And after the 7th mile I decided to call it quits.
It was a cool day, but humid and drizzling/raining during most of the last three miles.
I love being outside running. It's so much better than running on the treadmill. For my next run I'll really focus on the proper nutrition (quality and timing).
