8 hours from now I will start on my 17 mile run. It is suppossed to be raining. I will run in the rain Sam I Am. I just finished a HUGE bowl of oatmeal loaded with fruit . . . I took my family for a nice dinner tonight and ordered salad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I would have eaten crap like I usually do I wouldn't have a good idea tomorrow on my run where I am at physically. This way atleast I will be fueling myself with decent food including a couple of protein bars that I have been jamming down my throat today. I do not take 17 miles lightly.
My plan is to have gels at miles 4.5, 9 and 13.
I need to drink close to 30 ounces.
Miles 9 through 13 are going to be in the park where it is hilly. I need that . . .
Running long distances is really a lifestyle. This is so good for me. You cannot believe how much I have poisoned myself over the years with bad, bad things. I am only a shadow of my former self . ...believe me.
