I got those photos and will do a flashback in the second blog...<BR/><BR/>After the long runs this weekend, I am not sure which made the run easier...the nutrition/hydration or the laughter! Now, you all go ahead and paint me as the dirty old man, but Rob was all about the AAP, not me! I just asked for the breast motivation I could get to finish my first 100 miler!<BR/><BR/>And, for the record, my twig stayed flesh colored.

There goes more of my day in the blogosphere, as I'll have to start reading this blog too! Besides, all my new friends are here! It was great meeting Josh, Rob and Kim, and running with them and Mike on my FIRST Ultra run! I told all of them that this will definitely go down in my top 10 all time runs...I learned a lot, gained some new friends, and had a real blast!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373525255232982312.post-1891501139456373702007-07-02T22:23:00.000-05:002007-07-02T22:23:00.000-05:00I was wondering what the hell Rob was still findin...I was wondering what the hell Rob was still finding so funny 12 hours later...<BR/><BR/>Josh is a chick magnet and he DID save me from tumbling into the river!<BR/><BR/>Josh, I was only defending myself, I had to use the same tactics Mike was using!

I think you almost choked on those chicken wings after the run, what a day!<BR/><BR/>Maria,<BR/><BR/>The fact that you will be moving much slower on the trails will make it easier for you to eat solid foods. Trying to cut calories while in the middle of a 31 mile run could be a dangerous thing, though I can understand where you are coming from.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993287654198530451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373525255232982312.post-8035448893062623012007-07-02T21:21:00.000-05:002007-07-02T21:21:00.000-05:00I'm usually just a gu girl.

For that 23 miler we did on Sunday I used 3 gu's and drank smart water (plain water with electrolytes) cuz gatorade is just too sugary for me on the run. I don't really have a plan for the 50k except maybe one or two additional gels. You have to remember that this is still so new to me to not be so concerned with pace. In a regular road marathon or even on normal non trail training runs I aim to go at a tempo pace and I know for sure that my stomach would not take kindly to actual food during those. So I might have to ease into this eating whilst running business...it might also be the leftover Weight Watcher mentality...I'm always calculating the calorie burn for the good of the deficit instead of concentrating on the refueling aspect of it, if that makes any sense. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate your insight and can't wait to meet you at the BT50k!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222912722688901288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373525255232982312.post-78418004363902387532007-07-02T20:50:00.000-05:002007-07-02T20:50:00.000-05:00Red,Thanks, I wish you would have come out and ru...Red,<BR/><BR/>Thanks, I wish you would have come out and run with us Saturday or Sunday, it would have been nice to see you again. I am sure I will see you in a couple weeks at the BT50k.<BR/><BR/>Addy,<BR/><BR/>We really do have a great time together. <BR/><BR/>Maria,<BR/><BR/>Your right, I am quite the chick magnet, lol. I even got a hug from Autumn before I left!<BR/><BR/>As far as the nutrition goes, you have to eat when you are out there doing these long runs. For a 50k, depending on how fast you are running it, you can get away with gels, and typical marathon stuff, but for anything longer you have to have solid food (some people do get by on gels and liquids alone for 50 and 100 miles, but it isn't very common, and is not recommended by many.) Personally I can't go for a 20 mile run anymore without getting hungry and wanting real food. What are you planning on for BT50k? gels and Gatorade? PB&J, Cheez-its, Oreos, Fig Newtons, granola bars, salt and vinegar pringles, peanut m&m's, Iced animal crackers and chewy cookies are all favorites of mine, but you should really try out different things before the big race to see what you can handle.<BR/><BR/>Kim keep us in line?? Please, she is worse then I am! Of course Mike is the worst of all.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993287654198530451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373525255232982312.post-24850874476860345682007-07-02T20:27:00.000-05:002007-07-02T20:27:00.000-05:00Josh,Man, I forgot about those Salt and vinegar Ch...Josh,<BR/><BR/>Man, I forgot about those Salt and vinegar Chips.

I'd love to hear some of your ideas on fueling during long runs.
