5 MILE SUCCESS!!

I'm really excited about this. I think this is the first big celebration for my training so far. Why?

Because I felt GREAT during this run. I didn't feel tired, I felt comfortable, and my heart rate stuck to 165 until mile 4 when it raised to about 170. I felt like I could run more. Which is exactly where I want to be in my training. I can tell it's working!

I am wondering about something now that I'm getting to longer runs: do I need to eat/consume carbs during longer runs? How often? How much? I have read every 30-40 minutes your body needs some carbs...so sports drink or gel thingys?? What's the deal?

Anyway, completely stoked. Another 5k at Donnolly College on Saturday. Running it nice and easy. It's a flat and downhill course. That should be fun.

Alright, well that's it for now.
