I did my long run today as I am leaving for a backpacking trip tomorrow. I carried a small bottle of which I put a large shot of accelerade mix in. I was thinking it would be something in between a gel and water, but it tasted like crap. I felt energized the whole time, but now my stomach is not feeling well. Not sure if it is the accelerade or something else. I think I might start carrying a water bottle and my maple syrup concoction.
I will be gone until Thursday and probably won't get a chance to run until Friday. Fear not- I accounted for this in my training schedule. If we have a short hiking days and are lounging around I might run up Katahdin a couple times.

hey, db, congrats on completing your first long run. as for the resultant stomach discomfort, chalk it up to accelerade, as i had severe of the same after consuming it. OR maybe you just ate too much fiber during the 24 hour period leading up to your run. anyway, let's work out the kinks early. that's the idea. have fun in ME. see ya soon. rl
