So that 17-miler today?

The one that I went to the store during my lunch break and bought shot blocks for?  Yeah...I left the damn blocks in my car and switched vehicles with DH.  So I didn't have those OR any water.  Awesome.

Surprisingly, it went well.  My legs were *dead* but have been heavy all week and really, the only thing that bugged me was the heat.  The last three were straight into the 4:00 sun.  Bleh.  

Next week, though, shot blocks!  Smile

  • Dude, I don't know how you run that far without fuel! You're an animal. :-) I will say that when I take a shot block or whatever, it makes me queasy for about five minutes afterward, then I feel fine & can tell it's kicking it. I'm sure everyone has a different experience with them, based on how sensitive your stomach is.

  • Tell yon novice runner - what is a shot block?

     I can't believe you did 17 without water!

  • I also can't believe you did 17 without water!  I hope you're a hydrating fool tonight (sure wine/beer counts!)  It was such a gorgeous day today, I had to run also....but only a wussy 3.5!  You are an animal!
