I drink a lot of fluids ever...you will do awesome!<br /><br />I drink a lot of fluids everyday and when I run even more. I haven't been running, just doing the elliptical, I have heard that those applesauce pouches are a great nutrition tool. I am not a fan of apples...but just in case you do like them :)Losing Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06426520873028196265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-78441437404159369562016-03-01T13:53:31.762-06:002016-03-01T13:53:31.762-06:00Hmm.

Real fruit sits better in my stomach than sugar goo! Yes, we will do awesome! :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-52290705728100205062016-03-01T12:27:10.399-06:002016-03-01T12:27:10.399-06:00I don't use moleskin because I never (rarely) ...I don't use moleskin because I never (rarely) get blisters. My running shoes are 1/2 size bigger than my normal shoes. And yes- 100 miles total for last week's training :) I've worn those newtons for several marathons and many long runs and never had an issue before this year with them (same pair lol) <br /><br />That's a great idea to take foods from the spectators- I think oranges and bananas would hit the spot in the dark places of a marathon. Usually I do GU every 4-5 miles and am fine. But for the long run even the one GU made me feel a little sick probably due to the sugar. Thank you for the confidence boost! It's just so weird to put so much faith in the cycling and random swims to hopefully get me to the finish in a decent time. I'm excited for us to do awesome in Carmel!Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12846036242883194347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-1420338981638380892016-03-01T10:35:24.094-06:002016-03-01T10:35:24.094-06:00Do you use moleskin to prevent blisters?

During my marathon PR I took random sugary things from spectators and felt great. In other marathons when I focused on taking GUs at certain intervals I felt nauseous. Go figure. Anyway, I agree with Kim that you got this. You PR'd at the F^3 four weeks ago and you definitely have better fitness now. Just focus on getting your workouts in, get a decent taper and figure out your race plan. Then wait for the magic to happen on race day!Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-10037022252720096572016-02-29T17:02:13.114-06:002016-02-29T17:02:13.114-06:00I am happy you placed that shoe order.

It seems like you really need to find something you can force yourself to eat, since you are going to need to. A LOT. Ha ha. It sounds like you naturally do the Hansen (it's Hansen who does it, right?) method of going on a long run without fuel. That would NOT work for me!!! Props to the people it DOES work for. <br /><br />You said you nailed your workouts but 7 weeks isn't enough time for the marathon. GET OUT OF THAT HEADSPACE!!! Start talking yourself up, and keep hitting your workouts, and eating the right food and reducing your drinking. You got this.
