If that was my limit I would just eat a box of my favorite flavor of Cheez-its every day as a "supplement". 2000cals per 1lb box,238g Carbs, 111g Fat,43g protein. Goddamnit I want some Cheez-its now.

Cheddar-jack is loving delicious, I've accidentally eaten >1/2 a big box in a sitting before. Will you be baking this bread yourself, and slathering it in good butter? Please do, I want to know that it is as amazing as it sounds to eat like that. It may even inspire me to start distance running. or at least go for some of the longer trails around here instead of a 5k loop.

Cheez-Its own. So do Pepperidge Farm Goldfish. It's amazingly difficult to not go over my planned macros for fat and protein with this goofy new setup though. Just eating grains gives a surprising amount of brotein. I'll probably be relaxing my carb targets to "60-70%" instead of "65-70%" or else I'll go nuts. This first attempt at a crazy runner's diet is vegetarian by default, since I just don't have room for protein from meat. On the plus side, I don't have much room for protein powder either, so in light of how expensive that stuff (well, the stuff that actually contains protein anyway) is getting, I can't complain much. I do plan to bake my own bread, though I don't have a breadmaker (yet). Girlfran also suggested I figure out some good muffin recipes. If I can find some that are tasty and low-fat (I'm sure I can), I'll make those. Mmm.

Went out for a run this morning. My heart rate monitor wasn't working, but I figured I'd just run by feel for a while and hopefully it would kick in after I got sweaty and my chest started being more conductive. That didn't happen. About 2.5 miles in, I started to feel a lot of cold moisture dripping down my calves and hitting my ankles. Lots of it. I "pulled over" and examined my Camelbak - the bladder had sprung a small leak. I can only be thankful that these things didn't happen during a serious run (in the case of the HR monitor, where the HR monitoring would have been necessary) and in my fridge (in the case of the Camelbak bladder). I only ended up doing 6 miles, but I'm going to get a new Camelbak bladder/figure out the HR strap issues and go for a 20-miler or so tomorrow. Oh yeah, and I gained like 4 pounds on my first day of the high-carb diet, then lost over 5 between yesterday and today. With all that in mind, I'm going to sum up my week thus:

It's good when these small things go wrong, it helps prevent actual disasters down the road. You totally know what you're doing Zug. You're one of my biggest inspirations around here. I think of your attitude and accomplishments when I don't feel like doing What I Need To Do. You wouldn't believe how flattered I feel when you talk about picking up Spanish or doing something because of me in turn. Keep owning and eating the carb!

Are those guys the ones who run 60+ mile marathons? I watched some running documentary a long time ago and for some reason their name rings a bell.

That's them. They're a Native American tribe living in the Copper Canyons of Mexico. Ultradistance running is their transportation, their entertainment, their sport, from when they're little'uns. Their best runners could be elite ultrarunners if they wanted to be, but they largely don't give a drat about racing outside of home, away from their own people.

So in the past few days, I've gained 4 pounds, lost 5, then gained 7. Yesterday was the 2-year anniversary for the girlfran (Apricity) and I, and we went out for hibachi and sushi and cake. Read: FATLORD FEAST. S'ok. It was soooo good. This morning, I had another batch of equipment failures. I bought a hydration belt - well, it's a belt that holds one 28-oz water bottle that's exchangeable with the water bottle in my handheld - and it just wasn't working for me. Bouncy bouncy bounce bounce, chafe chafe chafe. I ended up dumping it in the Apricity's car after a few miles and just trucking along with my one handheld. Then a little while later, I noticed my keys were poking through a hole that had formed in the back of my shorts.  At least I noticed before they actually fell out in some random location, since I just moved them to the pouch in my handheld.I have to say, all this is especially frustrating for me because I really, truly hate being encumbered with a whole bunch of poo poo. It's why I don't really like Camelbaks, and it's why I hate winter - I have to put on lots of bulky clothes just to be able to step outside. I like running with the bare minimum number of things on me - shorts, shoes/socks, visor, sunglasses, .mp3 player, GPS watch, and water bottle. Okay, so the GPS and .mp3 aren't necessary, but I like them and they're small, so. Having all sorts of crap strapped to me takes away from the primal, meditative experience of just moving my body through space. My love for that sort of experience is why I love this passage from Chapter 22 of Born to Run so much: quote:That fall, a photo appeared in UltraRunning magazine. It shows Jenn finishing a 30-mile race somewhere in the backwoods of Virginia. There’s nothing amazing about her performance (third place), or her getup (basic black shorts, basic black sports bra), or even the camera work (dimly lit, crudely cropped). Jenn isn’t battling a rival to the bitter end, or striding across a mountaintop with the steel-jawed majesty of a Nike model, or gasping toward glory with a grimace of heartbreaking determination. All she’s doing is … running. Running, and smiling. tl;dr: Zugzwang just wants to get out and run a lot without having to deal with bullshit to do so.

You could always try sliding the belt around 90° and wearing the bottle on your hip, though I don't know if that'd unbalance you at all. When I wear a belt with food and whatever in it I do that to prevent annoyance, but it might not work as well with one that has a bottle in.

Store it in the groin of your compression shorts, wrapped in a sock to soften the outline. Slight harm to stride, huge boost to strut

I had a really thin Under Armour wrist band that I made a slice in and would slide my house key in when I'd go out for runs. Didn't weigh much at all and was reliable to keep my key from falling out

The criticisms seem spot-on: they can't carry much water anyway, and they end up bouncing around or hiking up and being annoying. A handheld like this one carries more water and is a lot more comfortable to use. The fact that it's strapped to your hand means you don't really need to exert effort to keep it there, which can be a problem on longer runs with regular bottles.

Just did my second run for the day... 5 miles in 48:00, 9:33 pace, 152 bpm average HR 16 miles total today. The heart rate monitor strap for my Garmin 310XT still isn't working, but the strap from my old Garmin 305 is compatible with the new watch, so I'm using that. I kept this run nice and slow and easy, and I felt strong the whole time. I did a trial with the two handheld water bottles strategy (obviously didn't need that much water on this run), and I felt fine carrying them. Great success. I bought some Gatorade mix today for my longer runs - it's easy carbs and contains sodium. One of the mixes advertised itself as "LOW CALORIE." The one I bought wasn't. Near as I can tell, the only difference is serving size and mgs sodium/grams powder. The grams carbs/grams powder ratio is exactly the same.  Reminds me of some not-very-big muffins they sell in the convenience store on campus. They're 210 calories...per serving. 3 servings per muffin. Who the gently caress eats 1/3 of a muffin?So uh, I'm trying an experiment that is probably ill-advised, but whatever. I'm going to run every single day this week, including today. Factoring in the fact that I ran yesterday, that will put me at 8 straight days of running. My goals are to make up for last week's lost mileage due to all the crap that happened, and hit 200 miles for the month. In order to reach the latter goal, I'll have to run 77 miles this week (counting today, so Sunday - Saturday). I pulled off a 62.2-mile week about two months ago when my all-time high (at the time) was 40 miles in a week, so this might actually be doable, especially considering how little I ran last week. I'll probably do a few doubles instead of all long runs, since it's easier on the body that way. Also, I'll obviously abort if there are serious issues, since I'm not trying to explode a hamstring here. 77 miles in a week, 200 miles in a month...it's  time.Oh yeah, and evidently I'll need to eat 650 grams of carbs a day this week, ahahahaaha somebody kill me.
