30 Day Running Challenge: Day 24

What’s your favorite pre-run snack or meal?

I always take my BCAA (branch chain amino acids) about 30 minutes to an hour before I run, that is my staple.  Aside from that, I would say whole grain toast with almond butter and a little bit of honey.  Always does the trick 🙂

..."sunrise stroll" - love the reflection!

Just because, who doesn’t love a penguin?

So, I know I said it was a “nightmare”…

but, my terrible first trail race is over, and I did about 7 minutes better than I thought AND came in 13th out of my age group. My time wasn’t great, but that’s not so bad, right?  And all I can do now is get better.

So… I am already looking at other trail runs and I found one that sounds AWESOME!! I have really wanted to do a night race, and while looking for one, I stumbled upon the “Midnight Sasquatch 15k”!  It is a trail run that starts at midnight and the course is lit by glow sticks.  How much fun does that sound?

I also think that someday, I really do want to do a 50 miler.  No timeline for it yet, but someday.
