My first 20 mile training run

tomorrow! Yikes. Wish me luck!

lots of luck!

Be sure to include nutrition on the course in some form other than your gel packs. Something like orange slices, banana--animal cookies.

Good luck, also remember it is not about speed, it is a long slow run, take your time and enjoy it!

How do you carry food along? My belt w/bbottle has a tiny pocket that I struggle to get a couple of gels into. I've taped a banana to my belt, but it really does look ridiculous Not to mention it will probably fall off and I'll slip on it!

Good luck. Run SLOW, take tunes, take munchies. As for taping fruit to yourself, please don't take a watermelon on your next long run!

How did you know I put a watermelon in my running skirt for this morning?? Do you have a camera into my house??

My children have asked why mom has fruit taped to her water belt. I am not expecting good things to come from this.

I made it. Could have done without the portable fruit though

GREAT JOB!!!

 

[SilverE]

Great effort! I'm glad you had a fruitful run. (oh, I am so sorry for that pun; I couldn't resist )

 

[princessmomma]

Details, we want details!

Congrats!

Great job on the LR!! And if you decide to take a watermelon on your next run, I would suggest a seedless one as it's not fun to try and run and spit seeds at the same time (and not very polite to hit other runners/walkers/rollerbladers/cyclists with spit out seeds)
