Hello! How’s it going? Thanks for chiming in on how I almost died yesterday. It really was scary. I’m happy (most of) you are glad I didn’t die.
Let’s talk long distance running gear…
What I Wore to the Marathon
1. ProCompression visor (no longer available)
4. Danskin tank
5. Running Belt <- to hold my phone and fuel
6. 9″ Long Running Shorts from Fabletics – updated link to my favorite
Marathon fuel:
I took with me Clif Margarita Shot Blocks and Clif Mocha gel – I don’t know if it’s the fact that I eat it at mile 18 or what, but I swear mocha gel tastes like chocolate frosting.
I also drank the Vitalyte on the course and water. Unfortunately, I skipped the beer and bacon station this race is known for at mile 20. That was a poor life choice.
And I’ve been drinking so much iced coffee today I’m scared.
Question: What are you drinking right now?
So I’ve heard that Moving Comfort is no longer producing apparel. Their last line was Fall 2014. As they are owned by Brooks running, they are absorbing their apparel line. They will continue with their sports bras line though.
Since when do you wear Asics shoes?!
Since I found a new pair in my closet 🙂
I’m drinking as much water as humanly possible today. I had a massage this morning and the last time I went I felt sick because I didn’t drink enough water. I’m trying to avoid that this time around!
Nice form on the board Mon! I yelled for you and you either didn’t hear me, or you ignored your #1 fan =). Or probably thinking about watermelons at the finish and how disappointed you would be if there was none.
The mocha shot DOES taste like chocolate frosting!!! My opinion, though: the Gu Espresso Love is better 🙂
I am drinking a decaf double espresso and just made a smoothie with chia, greens, apple, ginger, and lemon. Delish. Also, glad you are not dead today.
I pretty much drink Crystal Light all day because I am not a fan of plain water. At least I am trying to hydrate…right?!?!
If it’s before 10 am, the answer is coffee… always coffee 🙂
I’m drinking my morning coffee right now
Me too 🙂
Moving Comfort is no longer making apparel… ONLY BRAS … Brooks has taken over for their apparel line… but you can still get the short from Brooks!
Ah! Good to know – bummer though.
I’m sipping my 200th ounce of water for the day right now-if not 200th, it’s gotta be close to it! Congrats on your marathon! Your pic is so cute!
I was having water… Gotta stay hydrated, yo! 🙂
Drinking mint tea and reading blogs. 🙂
Water. But I did just finish a beer. 🙂
Sounds like a balanced drinking diet to me 🙂
I am brushing my teeth. Yes I read blogs while brushing my teeth, don’t judge!
Multi-tasking for the win!
Chamomile because…. bedtime!
Vitamin water zero!
I had one of those today!
I’m currently drinking ginger peach black tea. And I’m mad at myself for it, because it’s just so good, but it’s also so full of caffeine I will never sleep. Oh well.
Your ability to just go out and run a marathon never ceases to impress me. One day I will be you. (Not in a creepy way, don’t worry.)
I totally had too much caffeine today!
You almost could have been me when I almost died yesterday – someone had to continue RER 🙂
I just had my first caffeine hit of the day. Gotta start it off right!
Heck yeah!
Water.
Ever boring.
Ever present.
10 million ounces a day.
Water.
I drink about 10 million too 🙂
