You did awesome!<br /><br />It's nice that you got the opportunity to do a tune-up race that's longer than a half marathon, because they give you great feedback on fueling and pacing yourself in the race environment. AND they are more fun! Also, yes, definitely start taking fuel before you feel like you need it. Your body will thank you later ;-)Hanna @ minimal marathonerhttp://www.minimalmarathoner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-27553705474751680002017-02-28T08:27:18.610-08:002017-02-28T08:27:18.610-08:00Thank you!

I'd hate to see you crash in your marathon because of a fueling issue, especially since your training has been going so well! But of course, I'm not a coach/you do you :)Heather [is probably running]https://www.blogger.com/profile/12114192701460406051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-68498526820511383592017-02-27T03:57:10.124-08:002017-02-27T03:57:10.124-08:00CONGRATS!
