The Road to Ultra

Today's Run: 3.0
Run Time: 41:50
Total Miles to Date: 230.1

Thoughts on the Run:

Today was a recovery run. I say, "treadmill lies" only because running a slow pace seems like a LOT more work on the treadmill. I know what an easy pace "feels like" and this wasn't it. However, I hovered between 13 - 14 minute miles. I warmed up by walking at a 14-minute pace on an extreme incline and then jogged at about 13:50 for the rest of the run. Nice recovery and "warm up" for the 7 miles tomorrow.

Nutrition on my big run day (14 miles) was:

1 Spritzer (1/2 Perrier/1/2 cranberry juice)
4 cups coffee
Biscuits that my daughter baked with organic jam and honey
The USANA HealthPak
2 packets of Succeed! Amino (during the run)
1 packet of Succeed! CLIP2 (during the run)
2 S-caps (sodium tablets) during the run
9 cups water
5 oz multigrain tortilla chips
6 oz jerk chicken
3 oz Mexican "queso fresca" (nachos for lunch, fajitas for dinner)
Peppers/etc for fajitas on a whole grain tortilla
Margaritas and rum plus bitter lemons
