I ran once over the weekend, and managed the two miles again. I'm trying to work in a two mile route around my home where there are some hills cuz I am missing that challenge in my training. I am also going to work in a route that has hills where I can do a practice of the ride run, or at least half, where I run two miles, bike two, run two. That's six miles and half of the race. I would like to practice the full thing at least once but will be pretty happy if I get the half practice in.
So, what the heck does this have to do with my title? Well, I ate a half teaspoon of sugar within 15 minutes of running in the morning, on the advice of my brother, to reportedly give me some energy to run longer. And I have no clue if this helped but I discovered that I do not like straight sugar. When I was a kid, I would have loved it if someone would have handed me the sugar bowl and a spoon. So this is another sign that I am old - straight sugar is now gross. Sigh. I'll try a pixie stick next time, though even that sounds gross first thing in the morning. Hey G, can I eat a little powdered doughnut? Those always sound good. And not just in the morning.

Aaaahaha, gross (it probably did help though) Try honey instead, about an hour before you go I would suggest (this is only if you haven't eaten 2-3 hr prior though). Oh, and only do this if your planning on running for more that 60-90min, otherwise it's pointless.
What about a sugar cube? We used to love them as kids.
I am never planning to run for more than 60 to 90 minutes. Wait, except for the actual ride run and maybe the practice round. I didn't hear any ringing endorsements for the doughnuts. darn.
Run for 60-90 minutes? Who in the heck does that!?
