Knocked out a nice 10 miler this AM on the West Orange Trail here in Winter Garden, FL. This weather has been so nice. High 50's at night and low 80's during the day.....WITHOUT the humidity. Loving it. Anyway, the West Orange Trail is a Rails-to-Trails path that snakes its way 30-40 miles through central Florida. It is nice because there is water stops along the way and things to see. It was crowded today with all of the nice weather.
Anyway, my goal was simply to log the miles today at a nice easy pace. I did it at around a 10:15 pace. My nutritional regiment for a run of that length is as follows: approximately 30 minutes prior to run I drink a cup of coffee and eat a piece of whole grain toast with almond butter; during the run I ate a Mint Chocolate Gu about at mile 5.5; after I had a mushroom omelet, 1/2 hash browns, and fruit cup. During runs I usually use my first gel around 1 hour in and then every 45 minutes after. This of course depends on how I am feeling. In the past I have had problems with cramping in long mileage (i.e. over 20 miles) situations which I can usually get to subside with salt supplements. Anyway, tomorrow is a rest day....can't wait..
Total mileage for the week = 22 miles
