Today I did my 13 mile run. I usually eat well before runs but ran today on a bowl of cocoa puffs and feel that was one reason I felt like shiz during the 8 miles I ran at marathon pace. My goal was to run an average 8:20 pace but I averaged 8:12, which I feel good about. I brought a strawberry-banana Powerbar gel, and decided to use that instead of the rest of my Swedish fish. (I used the candy for the first half of my run.) I chugged the gel with tons of water and I could barely taste it, thankfully.
This week I have 40 miles on the schedule with a 14 mile long run. 16 weeks to go!

Congratulations on this weeks training and your 13 mile run. CoaCoa puffs huh? Cool. I am beginning to experiment with different pre run feuls. Good Luck on your next week and the 14 miler. Great job on the 8:12 pace. Keep it up. BTW, cool quote there on the right about the body and mind!
