The Long Run

As our long runs get longer and longer, I am finding the need to eat and hydrate more. Today I ran out of gas at mile 8 and still had 4 miles to go! Luis helped me understand at the end of it that we need to eat really well the night before, that morning, and during the run. Hydration is critical especially on warmer days like today. Small changes like the time of day we start can greatly impact the run. Its been good for me to experience running in all kinds of weather, but I have found that the heat really takes a lot out of me. Lets see how it goes next week!
