Must be the MOJO Bars
Today’s run on Black Mountain was so much better than last week’s. After the run last week I was sore for 4 days and Don was declaring the end of his ultra career. This week we ran the uphills and enjoyed the light fading from dusk to darkness. I figured it was all because we ate MOJO Bars before we set off.
The other fun part was trying out our new samples of energy gels. One is on our web site already – Accel Gel, which has carbohydrates and some protein. The other samples are gels that are not yet released! As soon as they are available, we’ll have them available.
The only bad part was that I couldn’t run faster on the downhills, since it was already dark. But there will be other runs. It was good to see the improvement from the week before. Also, Don and I are both getting more used to our Inov-8 shoes. I think they’re great for running in the dark because you can pretty much feel your way along the trail.
We are lucky to have such great weather in February – it was warm enough for short sleeves.
