I recently had a really funny conversation about what people do before they run.
When I was training for the marathon, I had the weird quirk of having to eat a baked potato and mandarin orange fruit cup before I ran every long run on Saturday morning. If I ate this, I could run no problem, if I did not eat this, I could barely finish my run. ( I know, when I look back, it was all in my head).
My husband observing this, suggested that I just buy a bag of potatoes and a mandarin orange pack of six then I would be good to go for a couple weeks. I did, but it was not the same. I just didn't have the umfphh I needed to complete those runs. So, for the remainder of my training, every Friday night, I would pick up my breakfast!
I have friends that stop before the group run for a Cinnamelt at McDonalds. I think that they are crazy, but am so impressed that they can run after eating those. . .and they are great runners!
I suppose. . .don't mess with what works!

Hey now ~ Don't be mocking us! LOL!!! I'm just scared to death that our Cinnamelts won't be available on race day. Can you imagine the freaking out that would ensue!? Horror.
ReplyDeleteGood thing McDonald's is open 24 hours. . .you will be able to quickly pick one up and still be at the church for 4:00AM. :)
