I stole this week. Yes I admit it. I stole an idea from Bolder about drinking Boost before big training days. Well I don't have Boost around the house but plenty of Chocolate Slim Fast so I have been drinking two each morning before big practice sessions.
It was this morning as I was sitting on the you-know-what, for the umpteenth time that I read the ingredients. First on the list, non-fat milk. Thats an important piece of information considering I am lactose intolerant and milk and ice cream are my biggest culprits. Yogurt and cheese I am OK, pizza can be tough on me at times.
So I will continue to steal the idea but find a more suitable choice for my GI, like a lactose free substitute like Ensure. Now if I can just find a way to do a yogurt based B&J AmeriCone Dream.
Woke up this morning at 0330 and knocked out a 12 mile run. A LSD pace, roughly 10'15" per mile with my HR average at 136. I wanted to keep it low since it was my longest run in ten days. Now I actually have nothing on my training schedule until Friday, so I am taking Mo to the park for some dad & son time tonight.
Tomorrow some important news. A triathlete is coming out of retirement, and its not who you think.
As Tri-Boomer would say,
Stay Tuned....

I wish I could go with you guys to the park. It sounds like so much fun!
(I'm staying tuned.)
Did you know that handfuls of chocolate-covered raisins and a long run scheduled the next morning don't go hand-in-hand either? (I can feel your pain!) :-0

i laughed aloud because i have SO BEEN THERE. hope you find something that works, comm. i usually just do a gel before swimming, let us know what else you try.
Is Bold coming out of retirement AGAIN? Or Iron Benny?
I never retired, so that reduces the possibilities by one.
Boost is lactose-free as well.
you can steal my Boost.
Hands off the Ben & Jerry's!!
OMG!!! Slim Fast shakes are tough on the hardiest systems. Ouch.
