34 kilometres = nap time

Working the kinks out of this whole marathon thing. Was kind of worried because last time I trained the furthest we ever went was 32.5k, but today we did 34k and we have a 37 kilometre run coming up in a couple of weeks (only 5k short of a marathon).
Cliff bars are where it's at: eat one before all long runs. They taste good and they make you go fast.
Gels every forty-five to fifty minutes. You don't want the third one, and they're kind of gross, but when you've been running for two and half hours and you starting to feel a bit peaked, that final gel will give you superpowers so that you pull away from your group, beat that kid that's been tailing you for the last three weeks, and result in your group leader giving you a handshake because he noticed how you bonked at the end of the last two long runs.
Then? Nap.
Awesome day today. Given the weird weather we've been having I was just so enthralled as we ran from Coal Harbour, around Science World and over to Alma and back. Cherry blossoms, warm sun, dragon boaters, people in shorts, flowers everywhere. Such an amazingly beautiful city.
So? Feeling good. Feeling pretty, pretty, pretty good.
