I haven't heard of energy chews yet—should I look into those for my half marathon? I think my running group was going to have someone come talk to us about those types of things, but I haven't been in about a month so I may have missed it.Angelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098744323184143823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262517490401335977.post-21855643884842755552011-11-25T10:12:35.713-08:002011-11-25T10:12:35.713-08:00Thanks.

(re: Great Race 2011 mile 4)<br /><br />My nutrition is the worst. Sometimes I run 14 miles w/o any food before the run and no nutrition during. Then I'm WEAK when I'm done. oh boy. I always drink too little water. People talk about bathroom breaks or going to the bathroom right before a race. I never do that. I wonder if I ate and drank right if I'd actually be good. <br /><br />25,000 is a lot of people. It went really smoothly. The delays between corrals was really nice.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04690377414823039284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262517490401335977.post-54876604964384227762011-11-25T10:06:36.432-08:002011-11-25T10:06:36.432-08:00I thought this was a good post.

Really gives you a full picture of what it feels like to run a road marathon for the first time (a thing I have never done - just mountain ones where you have to carry your own water). <br /><br /><i>I started picking people out ahead of me running and trying to catch up to them. This was a fun game.</i> <br /><br />I am always so impressed by your positive attitude with things that are hard. I am also always baffled by your water/food racing regimen (because you seem to be able to get away with consuming so little, comparatively). <br /><br />Man. Doing a marathon of this scale is such a huge undertaking (less so if you live in Philadelphia, but still).

I did write it over 4 different sittings so that probably made me feel like it wasn't so long.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04690377414823039284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262517490401335977.post-39452826096792912282011-11-25T07:38:32.946-08:002011-11-25T07:38:32.946-08:00The one garage that was full was $20 and the $9 on...The one garage that was full was $20 and the $9 one was just a block or so away. Since I have no sense of direction, I couldn't say where it was. I'll have to ask Dave. <br /><br />Yea I know. Somehow I was thinking they had water stops each mile so I was good. I didn't realize at the time it was 2.2 miles in. I also had water at the corral so it wasn't like I just had none. <br /><br />I am considering my water belt in future races because those water stops were basically a crawl to get the water and get moving. Maybe it was the pace group that I was at. Some people took water and stopped. It made it difficult. <br /><br />Also I think when I wear my water belt, my form is better because the bottles stop me from crossing my arms across my body so much. <br /><br />You can drive and do it next year!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04690377414823039284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262517490401335977.post-67370779839795341412011-11-25T07:35:32.798-08:002011-11-25T07:35:32.798-08:00Good recap.

Also, you should have definitely not skipped the fist couple of water stops. They are the most important.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977641586245563440noreply@blogger.com
