Long run day!

Today was a long run day down by the river. I had to walk 2 times during the run today. I think the heat and the rare humidity we have got to me. I had plenty of water with me but I still scummed to the heat lol. I also have been trying different energy supplements so I can refuel during my marathon in 78 days. I cant tell you from the bottom of my stomach that honey almond butter is not one I will use lol. I believe the GU Chomps will be the best its just like gummy bears lol. But back to the long run...... I completed 16.5 miles in 3 hours not to shabby if I do say so myself. More blogs to come........... lol.

Training and the count down goes on!

I had a nice massage yesterday I feel it is really helping my training. Tonight I had a nice training run 3.01 miles, was very humid in the gym tonight but empty. I love it when it is empty!! 83 more days till the marathon on 10/17. I have changed my diet a bit, changed up my breakfast from fish and fruit to flax waffles fruit and eggs adding in a banana and almond butter as a pre run / workout snack adding about 500 calories to my diet brining it up to 2250 calories a day. Could be that I was not eating enough but we shall see how this experiment will work out!
