It was awesome! I ran with my favorite running buddy thru the whole thing and we even got him a course PR! Lots of trail-related stories, like getting cussed out by some prissy runner who got mad that we splashed her running thru a mud puddle *** get over it!), a couple bad-ass stream crossings that we hit like champs, and some hills that EVERYONE walked. I can't imagine getting that kind of elevation and trying to run it.... My buddy asked me at the end, "so, do you think you could do 39 more miles after this?" and surprisingly my answer was an honest YES! So hopefully we'll spend the summer training for the Stone Mill 50 miler (in addition to training for Marine Corps Marathon!).

What do you guys eat before workout? Especially running. I read that we should avoid high biger snacks and go for low fiber 

 

Elain Standohar from Emaxhealth suggest using these snacks beofre running to properly fuel your running experience.

 

Berries & yogurt
• Berries & cottage cheese
• Bagel with peanut butter
• Toast with almond butter
• Banana & nuts
• Applesauce
• Whole-grain crackers & hummus
• Small bowl of cereal with cold milk
• Fruit & nut bar

 

and avoid 

 

Beans
• Apples
• Pears
• Broccoli
• Cream-based foods (such as soups, sauces, or dressings)
• French fries
• Pasta
• Ice cream

 

Would you please share what works and what doesn't, in terms of what to eat before exercising and especially running.
