 on him, he stops and looks over his shoulder at me.....)

That's about where blood glucose is dropping down to levels at which the body 
is starting to mobilize fat. If you press on, you'll probably experience a 
"second wind" effect, but you'll have changed fuel metabolism somewhat. A 
granola bar isn't enough if you want to maintain carbohydrate fuel supplies. 
Maybe four to six granola bars, or some grain (couple of pounds) or 2-4 oz of 
CarboCharge. Once you opt for this energy pathway, you'll have to keep 
supporting it in like manner every two hours.
