First Run back...

Went for my first run out today after last week's race. An easy 7-8km run/walk through varied terrain and a good excuse to go see the animals in the small zoo near my house. It went well -- of course the spots that were bothering me after the half were a little finicky about 5k into my route, but I made a special effort to stretch better when I got home so it should be good.

I also tried the Blue "Sport Beans" today ---- they weren't so bad. I'd give them a 4/5 for taste (good, but the texture was a little grainy which threw me off a little), as for effectiveness -- mmmmm, I'm going to stick with my GU gels, but they're sort a fun treat for a shorter run :P

That's it. The great thing about running is that now I can justify the pub food I'm having for dinner! :P
