It’s Thursday so its week 2 of my new hill workouts. I got some quizzical looks from a couple of people putting out their trash this morning as I barreled up and down their street. I don’t know if it was the fact that I was running the hill over and over that got them, or all the muttering and cursing that went with it 😉
4 weeks till ZOOMA Cape Cod and the excitement is building! ZOOMA just announced that they will be hosting a Mocktail Hour the night before the race for all you ladies who are running and their “fan clubs!” The event is sponsored by Hint, and will be a great time to hang out with friends, meet other runners and special guest Finessista. Be sure to RSVP on the ZOOMA blog.
Of late I’ve been finding that my tried and true pre-run breakfast of a multigrain English muffin with almond butter has not been sitting well with me lately on my runs – especially the long runs. So I’m going to try to play with some other options and see if I can find the right combination before my fall races.
Do you find you have to change up your pre-run meal? What’s your favorite go to food before a run?
I love hill workouts…ok that might be an overstatement, but they make me feel really strong and definitely help with long runs!
You go with your badass hill crushing self! keep it up.
That Zooma race sounds like so much fun. Wish I was closer to do it!
wow get those hills girl!
I love it!! Running up and down cursing! Perfect!! I can’t believe ZOOMA is only 4 weeks away!!! You’re going to rock it!!
I confess; I don’t eat before I run. For whatever reason, it makes me sick 🙁
I have a tough time eating in the morning or before a run, so I only eat aple sauce. For me it’s very important to get a big good dinner the night before. If I don’t eat enough, I know I have a sluggish run.
Christine you raise a good point about dinner the night before. I’m very careful what I eat the night before my long runs, but lately I’ve gotten a little lazy with dinners in general.
