Yesterday, during my 10-mile run, I took an energy/sports drink mix with me. I drank it over the course of a few miles and started feeling all tingly, but also felt that I could keep going for quite awhile. Afterwards, it was a disaster. I wasn't dehydrated, or exhausted, or hungry, but I ended up being nauseated, dizzy, and completely out of it. The only thing I did different yesterday during my run was the energy drink. That must be it.
So, I guess I'm not going to go that route to help me sustain myself during the half marathon. I believe the stuff was called Spark or S---- something (sparkle? lol). Next weekend, I'll try the GU gel and see if that works any better.
Also? Thank goodness the chafing spots are no longer painful and raw - they kind of scabbed over last night. Eeww, but yay the pain went away!
