Ran my ass off after work today. Worked on staying hydrated too around the 10 mile loop.
I started slow yet felt invigorated by the coolness when the sun went down so shaved about 10 minutes off my time. Was totally floored by witnessing my first IronMan this last Sunday. I think I found the ultimate secret. The key to prolonged energy is to get liquids, salt and other electrolytes WHILE you run. Right before leaving work our secretary was eatng this Mexican dried salted prunes. They tasted absolutely horrible. Like a ball of salt. WE jokingly called them shriveled monkey balls. To tell you the truth, I felt total energy and was almost sprinting the last 4 miles. (wile guarding my back of course).
