Best long run yet this summer!

RUN 26.6 miles in 5:13, two loops in Lost Valley

Brekkie was banana, small potato, tablespoon of coconut butter, and 2 eggs at 6am.
In run nutrition was one powerbar, two gels, and about 20 rice crackers.

Stating that up front because I think this is what changed the run for me. I ate enough!

We didn't start running due to a traffic delay on 64, had to wind around and get myself lost on the way to the mound. So the run started around 9am. Gorgeous day, we are really getting lucky with the weather. Sunny, light wind, warm but not hot.

Saw JeffB from the SLTC in the parking lot! :) Took off in good spirits planning to do two loops, not necessarily the same loops twice, but rather some variation on them.

Oh, and my NEW Cascadia 9's went out today! Love the midnight color :)

My nutrition plan was eating every 50 mins. I race at every 40 mins, but that's because I'm not eating normal meals and I'm out there much longer. Last two weeks I've been missing a feeding or going over one hour, or going by feel. All fails.

My last gel was caffeinated, I'm sure that helped me chatterbox my way through the morning too!

So much I could say, all the crap I talk about from the Big D, to moving, to selling, to lab, spider worms, my stalker, Sugar, blah blah, TV is really patient!

I tried to get him to go for another 0.4 miles but he wasn't up for it. He's way more chill about rounding his numbers (he rounds down!) and doesn't have the triathlete mentality for parking lot loops.
