There's something deceptive about a long slow run...your heart isn't pounding out of your chest every second and so you almost feel like it's a walk in the park, that is, until you finish and realize just how tired your legs are! Today's run, a long slow 10km. A beautiful sunny Sunday morning. My pre-run smoothie - tried the somewhat Paleo version - cocconut milk, but cheated and added protein powder. To my surprise, the smoothie kicked in nicely during my run when I would normally feel quite hungry. Dried appricots in my pouch helped as well. It's all about finding what works and what doesn't! I'm especially impressed and grateful my legs help up today considering I just ran 6km last night.
Passed a lemonade stand - note to self, bring money next time. Those kids looked like they were hoping to make a buck :) The great part about a morning run, I'm done - and can enjoy my day!
