DON'T PATRONIZE ME, MP.

MattsPenguin · January 2012

I'm not! I was excited to read it. What was that little belt ya had on there?

Honestly just curious. I'm going to have to start uping my mileage, and have to figure out how to carry water and/or snacks even a camera during the race.

kcscejal · January 2012

You kick so much ass!

Trifury2007 · January 2012

MP: Get a fuel belt to carry water and snacks.

LDYGTR13 · January 2012

I was kidding, silly pants

That belt thing was Chrissy's, but it was awesome. I definitely recommend it to put chaptstick, etc in. I'm getting one before my next race. You can find them at running stores, I'm sure.

MattsPenguin · January 2012

Yeah, I figured. Just saw LDY's and wondered what she had.

I tried to eat some fuel while I was out there - dried mango - it made me feel awful. I'm glad I didn't try Gu, I heard that could be worse!

MattsPenguin · January 2012

I'm not sure if I could do Gu. I have always been averse to globs of stuff (like salad dressing.) I'm going to look into something like chomps, though. It's like fruit snacks!

LDYGTR13 · January 2012

I saw those - they looked yummy. My dried mango was similar to fruit leather, I wasn't expecting to have an adverse reaction. I didn't even finish one piece =(

MyUserName1 · January 2012

That is so impressive! You must be so proud!

I get homicidal trying to do a 5k, so I'm pretty sure I could never ever accomplish what you just did!

Trifury2007 · January 2012

I eat PB pretzels and hammer get chocolate for long runs.

Fuel Belt is a brand name. Looking now that post probably isn't clear. Amphipod is another brand name. Marathon Sports and City Sports have them MP.

SunriseAmber · January 2012

LDY you are awesome!

MattsPenguin · January 2012

Oh, I didn't realize it's a name brand. thanks, Tri!

LDY, I am so proud of you for finishing. Like seriously. Did you get that runner's high? Also, did you lose any toenails or major blisters?

</div><div>The Gu took some time for me to get used to. The first time I had trouble opening it and ended up squirting it on the sides of my mouth and had a sticky face for the remainder of the run. I have tried PowerBar Gummies (that's definitely not the name but I can't remember) and they weren't to bad. You chew them and then there's some Gu-ish stuff in the center. My problem is I tend to choke myself when actually chewing and swallowing while running so I've decided to just master the Gu.

LDYGTR13 · January 2012

I most definitely got a runners high! Especially right after I finished. Then I wanted to pass out (like I did...in the tub). It was also AMAZING to watch Chrissy finish. You guys - she did twice as much as I did and she came across that finish line with the biggest smile ever. She's my hero.

I did get some blisters - but my shoes were a bit too new to have done the half in. I should have used my old shoes, but dammit, I like my new shoes better. I got blisters under 3 toes and then somehow got a blister in my callus on my right foot - that one hurts like a mother fucker. But they weren't bad over all. I still have all of my toenails

I had major boob sweat - that was hot.

ahhhitsshannyn · January 2012

You are amazing. I will never be able to do what you just did! I am so so so proud of you. Well, there is no good emoticon to use here, but I just wanna give you a big ole hug and tell you how inspiring you are.

Megbo2012 · January 2012

LDY, I hope that I can accomplish what you did, and Chrissy, I hope to also do what you have done so many times. It would be such an honor to join your clubs!

MattsPenguin · January 2012

YAY FOR ALL OF YOUR TOENAILS!

[QUOTE]It was seriously super hilly. Don't believe anyone that says Jackson is flat. Ever.

<div>Looks like I'm never going there SORRY LDY because I hate hills. They are ok I guess but the longer I am supposed to run the more my hatred for them grows.</div>

WildRumpus · January 2012

Yay!! So proud of you! You're both so awesome and adorable!
