A question for all of you long-run veterans about refueling during long runs. I'm planning to do . . . . no, I AM GOING TO RUN a 10-mile race on the first Sunday in May (gulp; no turning back now). I'm expecting it to take me over two hours and it could be really warm. My long run is up to 8 miles and I'm hoping to do my first 10-mile training run next weekend. During the summer, I carry a bottle of 3/4 Gatorade and 1/4 water with me, but I know it won't last through the whole race, so I'll be depending on water and other liquid (I think they have Powerade) at rest stops during the race. Should I start trying some sort of gu or whatever in the meantime?
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

You know at times marathoners forget the monumental task it takes to run 20 miles just for the fun of it....
