Strong Run

After yesterday's swim I thought that my run today was going to drag on but after I did my first gel at 3 miles, my mind and body perked up and I felt really great. So good that I had to be carefull not to run to fast for a base run. 10 miles, 1:35:41, HR 149, nice partly cloudy day near 75 degrees. I've been doing GU now for over 2 weeks and feel its effects are about the same as Cliff, maybe the pickup is a little faster but definitly lasts just as long and easier to get out of the package. I'm going to tape the gels to my bike for the race this weekend instead of using the flask to see how it works. I really felt that I could have gone a lot further today and am looking forward to the longer runs in the next couple of weeks.
