Nothing but good news to report this week, but I will keep it short! I successfully completed 13 miles on Saturday, which was a refreshing change from last week. It was tough towards the end, and a little painful, but I made it. My new fuel of choice? Swedish fish. My marathon training book had a list of alternative carb replacements for while you are running, since the carb replacement gels are not my thing. One of the suggestions was Swedish fish, so that's what I did! My stomach had no problem with them, and they seemed to give me an extra boost when I needed it towards the end of my run. I still may experiment with a couple other foods, but at least I know there's one thing that works for me!
The other great news is that I have officially met my fundraising goal for Marathon for the Cure! Yay! It actually happened while I was out running on Saturday morning, so it was a great thing to come back to. Now, I know there are some of you that are just dying to donate money, but haven't gotten around to it yet, and now are saying, "Oh no, does this mean I can't still donate?" :) $750 was just my minimum goal, so I am happily still accepting donations!
