Today was my last long run before the OC Half Marathon! I like to do a “dress rehearsal” before a race and wear the same clothes/eat the same thing that I will for the race. But…I didn’t bring my favorite shorts to Ben’s so my dress rehearsal wasn’t perfect. However it was a success, as in I finished 14 miles!
Before the run – carbs & nut butter, just like I like it.
After the run – a smoothie with blueberries, Amazing Grass, protein powder and almond milk.
..
and greek yogurt with a bunch of great toppings – pumpkin butter, cereals and almond butter
After 14 miles (in 2 hours and 3 minutes) of runningI rushed to Ben’s to shower and hit the road. We were off to Paso Robles for wedding planning.
I always pack snacks for the road. Today it was trail mix with fancy organic honey O’s (I forgot what brand), pecans, cashews, raisins and honey mustard pretzels. I made a big gallon plastic baggie of it – which is a good & bad thing. We have enough for the entire trip, but I had no idea how much I was eating!
And an orange.
I also had some other random bites of Gardetto’s, but was trying to not eat too much so I would be hungry for the tasting!
I like to wear my outfit and try out my hydration/refueling method before races too 🙂 2:03?!? That is awesome! You are going to kick some butt at this race!
