Watershed Run

Twelve hours is a long time to run, especially in circles. That said, Chris and Tom, the Watershed Preserve 12 Hour Run organizers, make it so much fun. The run was yesterday, and I am tired today. I kept it busy for the full time, finishing with 57 miles. I'll take it. I was pretty lame for the last hour, but that's ok. It's good prep with good peeps. Organization and volunteers were top of the charts. In particular, the food was phenomenal. Food matters. There were all sorts of Hammer energy fuels, which I've taken to, but then there was this big buffet you'd pop out at every 5 miles. Here's the full menu:

bananas
birthday cake
candy
cantaloupe (maybe)
cheese
chicken flavored vegetable soup
chips
coffee
coke
cooked potatoes
cookies
crackers (maybe)
energy bars (cut up)
fruit cups
gatoraide
ham
hot chocolate
jelly
mayo
mustard
oranges
peanut butter & jelly tortillas
pineapple
pretzels
Red Bull
rice (maybe)
salt (for potatoes)
tea
tortillas (for wraps)
turkey
vegetarian soup
water
watermelon
