This past weekend, my training plan called for a long run of 8 miles on Sunday. We had a wheeling trip planned, but had to get home in time for the Broncos game, so I was all geared up to run as soon as we got home, mid-afternoon, when the game started. However, we didn't take the time to stop to eat lunch while out on the trail, since we were in such a hurry to get home timely.
So, my pre-run fuel consisted of several handfuls of cheese Ruffles, two oatmeal cream pies, and half a bottle of Mountain Dew (plus a half a gallon of Eldorado water).
And don't you know, the run kicked ass (I did my "city lap" twice). I don't like what that's telling me...I feel better when I eat like a hippie. But man, junk food sure can fuel a run.
Noted.
