Zoom, 8 miles

I haven't had a run feel this good in a LONG time! And I made good time. I tried something different with my fueling and it worked pretty good. About 25 minutes before my run I drank about 20 oz. of Heed. I didn't carry anything with me on the run (more on that later). I didn't try to push myself, but focused on staying relaxed and maintain a steady pace. The result was that I felt like a million bucks the whole way and was ready to go again when I was done. Now, it must be noted that the temp was about 55 degrees and I wore my tights and tuque. I stayed warm, but didn't overheat. I think the tights helped with keeping my legs loose and my knees from stiffening up from the cold. I can only hope that the marathon has these same conditions!
