Running on empty

[MBlanchrd@aol.com]

HI, campers,

 I've been following this discussion about fats, glyco loading etc. I think 
I've found the perfect solution.
When I was doing all that running (thank you, U.S. Army) I learned (the hard 
way) that I had to avoid foods that produced gas (beans, broccoli,) etc the 
night before. If I ate any meat, like a steak or what have you, I couldn't 
run more than a mile. 

Otherwise, I'd "tie up" and boy that hurts. I ate NOTHING the morning of a 
long run (about 6 or 7 miles every other day, 9 minutes a mile) and since it 
wasn't "hoo ah" to carry water, I never did. I would run out of gas about 
half way out, and this was a problem until I learned what could carry me 
through.
Lasagna. 
If I had a nice serving of lasagna and a salad the night before, I had no 
problems the next day on our nice little runs.
So there, Campers, is the answer. Feed your horses a large helping of lasagna 
the night before and you will all finish Tevis. All these arguments, and all 
you had to do was ask a soldier. 
No need to send money, just doing my part to further the sport.

Michelle and Jordan (mom, can I have extra Parmesan cheese?)
