F*cking terrible long run to start November. I was hoping to nail everything today but that was not to be. I ate my normal breakfast with Generation UCan super startch and felt great on the first part of the run. Then I had a handfull of gummy bears and some water and I felt fine. I ate another candy orange slice at 14 miles. Then I started the fast portion and bam side stitch, then two side stitches, then three, I couldn't breathe and had to slow to 6:30-7:00 pace for the rest of the run. just horrible feeling of defeat.
Alright so shot bloks are out, power gels are out, Gu brand is out, gummy bear/orange slice combo is out. only thig I can try are th Carb Boom gels my buddy gave me. I'm also thinking that my shitty diet that last few days, consisting of a lot of halloween candy may have done me inas well. I've got to clean up my diet and stay strong these remaining weeks and pray to God my digestive tract cooperates on race day.
PM: 1 hr pool run
