How did everyone do this week?
Emmy - How did Brian like Tough Mudder? Some of my neighbors did it, and they texted me that it was "awesome", but I haven't talked to them yet to hear all of the details. Glad to hear that Brian at least survived!

Re: Fitness Post!
My short runs were good, so I was feeling confident about running 6 miles. Then, I went out for my long run on Saturday, had a horrible headache and a 1/2 mile in I started feeling really nauseous, so I just ended up walking 2 miles. I tried again on Sunday morning and was able to do 6 miles, my longest distance ever. I still wasn't feeling the greatest and I took a lot of walking breaks, so I finished at a 12 minute pace, but I feel good about doing it.
Does anyone have any recommendations for what to eat/drink that will give you energy before running? Sometimes my legs feel like dead weight, and I feel like I need to do a better job of "fueling" my body.
After hitting my wall last week, I got back out there. I went out Friday night (went a different route, which helped to change it up a bit) and did 2.75. On Sunday morning, I did the full 5K in preparation for the steelers race this week, and it took me 32 minutes, I had to walk about 2 minutes in the middle, so about 10 min/mile pace, which I was happy with. I hope to get out tomorrow, then do the 5K on Saturday!

Its ragweed season and I'm fairly allergic although the last few years I haven't been bad. But this year is getting to me. So I decided to take it easy. Hoping to get in more runs this week
I'm also interested in what everyone eats before runs; I feel like I need to eat something or I'd die, but I've also made the mistake of going out too soon after an actual meal & that was not good either, ICK!

Now if I go before dinner I usually have some triscuits and cheese and do ok. If going after dinner it's usually far enough after and I try not to eat a ton at dinner.
I don't often run in the morning but for races I did banana and whole wheat toast with PB and that was perfect.
