Yeah the vest looks bit too warm, even the green long sleeve looks a little thick.

The feet? Numb for the whole run, ha.
Yeah my feet are fine, my hands on the other hand are high flippin' maintenance.

The vest is actually thinner than the LS.

It's like rope skipping, jump right in and tell us how fat you got today. lol
Lol, not feeling bloated yet.
I read your race thread, I am actually glad I bought 24 pop tarts, they will come in handy!
I do carb load for the marathon and half marathon (although not as much for the latter) and what you are looking for are foods with a high carb count that is not heavy on your stomach and easily digestible. For that, pop tarts are perfect!
I tried the whole bagel thing pre-race and it is just too tough me to choke one of them things down early in the morning, ditto oatmeal. So I have found other ways to get the requisite number of carbs in.
You are not really ready for any of that at this point, but as you progress in your running you will come to understand what the thinking is in that thread; high energy foods (meaning carbs) that are easy to eat and do not sit on your stomach.
As an aside, it is wholly ironic that a pop tart discussion was going on in two separate threads, while totally unrelated!
And it looks like you had another layer under the green shirt.

Bagels and english muffin are not the same lol, bagels are thicker and I don't eat them lol. But I LOVE cinnamon raisin english muffins, and banana bread ones, yummy. I will try the pop tarts in my next training....
That thread actually started before ours did, in my little LLR group i mentioned it to D, and then i guess some members from here read the thread too

Yeah I actually went through this whole thing a couple years ago. If I recall correctly, two English muffins equaled the carb count of a single bagel (somewhere around 54 grams), one muffin I could probably do, but two was out of the question.
You just have to find what works for you, and you will. We all do.
I did not run with that one. We were going to lunch so I put that one on after the run.
My best pre race meal was melon bread.
Lol, I could eat two of those Cinnamon Raisin English Muffins
Problem solved!
race obsessed
Deal!
I cannot see how #2 is even a remote possibility given your 10k and half split. Give it another day when DOMS sets in before you start bashing your effort yo.
