So, breakfast was cornmeal cooked in vanilla soy milk topped with crushed walnuts. Decent breakfast, right? I set out for my four mile walk (kind of hilly), and two miles in I had a drop in blood sugar. My Gu? Home. In my purse. Rats. About another quarter mile I spied the roach coach. A Gatorade would have been nice about then. My money? Home. In my purse. Double rats.
I had to slow down so I'd make it home - upright. I downed a half cup of OJ and I was a-okay. I guess I'll have to eat a banana just before I leave the house. I'll try that next time.
And my daughter is about to run a 50mile trail race! Holy @#$%!!!
Sigh. I'll just keep chuggin' along. Lesson learned.
Miles remaining: 2974
Ugh! But it happens to the best of us. You may find your normally sufficient breakfast isn't enough as you increase mileage/intensity, or it could be that you just need to pack that banana or pretzels or whatever.
