good Same Routine (Rec Center), Different Route 10.41 mi 01:15 07:09 pace

5.7 miles to rec center (7:01 pace), strength, core, then 4.7 miles home (7:19 pace). Explored yet more area streets today and found a shortcut to the Rec Center. Wish I hadn't. I hate shortcuts. Really warming up out there by the end. Think I need to consume more calories, felt short of energy today. And I ate a ton yesterday, including a late, late dinner with the wife. Maybe it was the 3 glasses of wine I felt.
Oh, and I have developed a running injury from all this training. My wrist is bruised from the Garmin. I had to switch it to the right wrist for the run home. Awkward, but better than annoying. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/47247504

    Some people can drink the night before a run, I can't. More than one beer/wine/drink and I'm not going to do well the next day. I'm not even a lightweight! I just can't drink the night before a hard run for some reason. My friend, Dave, though, can put away a six pack of PBR, eat two big bowls of chili, and still whip my tail in race the next day. I think he was born to be an ultra runner.

    Re: Calories. I too am realizing that on harder runs, I need food pre-run. And my week-day bike rides I go without pre-bike food entirely and just feel sluggish.

    Thanks all - for some reason the wrist only hurts when I put the Garmin on it. @Gordon, I actually ate two English muffins about 90 minutes before leaving the house, still wasn't enough today. And @Jeanne & @Kent, my first BQ did come after drinking two glasses of red wine the night before Chicago.

    @Brian, I know a little of the history (a bit of a history buff). We Americans have a penchant for naming streets with a lack of sensitivity. I'm sure there is a Genghis Khan Avenue somewhere, for example.

    Too funny about the Garmin issue--bummer! I have the larger band and keep it loose. Tough call on the alcohol. Nice mileage. You might have to carry a gel with you!

    Before I had to send my Garmin in for repair, I was thinking of removing the rubber wrist band and using the substitute velcro band that came with it. Over the course of a long run, I think my wrist gets a little smaller allowing the Garmin to move around. You might try using the velcro band if you still have it.
