Great lunchtime run
Awesome 3.3 mile out-and-back from work, pace at 11:02/mile – and it felt like jogging! I remember when doing 11-minute miles was so hard. Gasping for air, pushing myself. Now it’s a jog. Woo hoo!
Ate a Clif bar about an hour and minutes before, and that seemed to be okay, although I did get a stitch about 2/3 of the way through. I don’t know if that was attributed to the Clif bar, or the fact that I didn’t take any water with me (I did drink plenty throughout the morning, and had 8 oz of Gatorade just before the run). Still trying to figure out the whole food/water thing (which I think I should figure out before doing 31 miles – ha!).
Feel good. Strong. Capable. Secure.

Great run! You'll get the whole food/hydration thing figured out before the race! It takes a lot of experimenting which doesn't always go well. I will **NEVER**, **EVER** have root beer anywhere near the start of a run for the rest of my life!!!
