GU Energy Gel


Tonight was the first time I tried an energy gel while running. About 45 minutes into the run I stopped to take it. The first mouthful was a little strange, but, since they're mainly sugar I gulped the rest down easily. The consistency is definitely gooey, hence the name of this brand. I ahd the Lemon Sublime, next time I'll try the Orange.

I think it helped. I ran eight miles and was pretty consistent in pace throughout, even the long hills on the way home.

Good work on the running. That gel sounds a little disgusting though... kind of like drinking toothpaste...

Sorry, I haven't been posting much. Not much is going on with the list with the exception of my room cleaning sliding back to the area of not tidy... too much stuff in one small space... I did discover a room that is smaller than mine and has the same amount of stuff. And then I didn't feel so bad.

I'll try to post this weekend. I can see one of my goals being reached soon!
