So compared with the post whiskey no breakfast disastrous 16 mile run I did a few weeks ago that really shot my ego for the marathon, today's 17 and a half mile run was a breeze. I took the night off, ate a big carb loaded healthy dinner, got a good night sleep and had a big bowl of oatmeal with bananas, peanuts, and cranberries this morning. It was black and white, and I felt great! I ran from the house and did the Horsetooth Half Marathon course which I'll be running in April. The course climbs and descends the big hills that create Horsetooth Reservoir. I cruised, jumping from road to trail and back a few times to keep it interesting. It felt good to know what is in store for the race by checking out most of the course. I didn't get nearly as low on fuel as I was a few weeks back when I found myself delirious by the last 2 miles. Overall, it was a great morning, and it didn't ruin the rest of my day this time. I actually timed myself too and was happy with my splits of 8.5 or so. Well I hope everyone else is having a great weekend, see ya out there!
