But still, I am up. Much like the Triathlon this past weekend, I was up at 4. I actually never ran over 14 miles in my life when I did my first marathon. I had picked up some weight training that helped tremendously. No, it didn't help my cardio obviously, but my cardio isn't what suffers in long runs. Its my muscles. My back, my arms, and may legs. So I found by doing a little bit of circuit training, I could cut down on the running, and actually become a faster/stronger runner by incorporating weights. <br /><br />As for snack combinations-I love dark chocolate with a little chili pepper in it. Or sea salt and almonds. I have a weird obsession with twinkies though.Jilliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02635171952525782144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-86711801766137043832012-08-20T08:00:57.309-04:002012-08-20T08:00:57.309-04:00How sad is it that I spent a good amount of time t...How sad is it that I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out what book you're reading.

To be honest, Saturday night often looks like that too. This weekend was not like that and it took ALL of Sunday for me to recover. I'm too old!<br /><br />I'm good with salt and chocolate, but not pepper.

Mostly because I don't really like pepper that much.<br /><br />I get up at 4:30 AM to be at my running group on time on Saturdays. It sucks mega nuts.

I mean, I didn't even get up that early today or run, and I'd still rather nap than organize. I guess the main point here is that I hate organizing stuff. <br /><br />You should just tell people you run 40 miles every Saturday. We don't want everyone to know that 50 mile training isn't completely nuts, that's how we keep the races small.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506087947077839388noreply@blogger.com
