I will be in Hopkinton, MA... the plan is as follow: Run to Boston. It's only
26.2 miles from one to the other. In fact, I think it's a race!? Crazy!

Bring your hammer, and I'll bring mine.

I also brush my teeth BEFORE every run :-) New to the group, I love the
collective wisdom and experience here. Any other crazy running rituals to share?
You never know, one runner's craze is someone else's panacea... Thanks.

Dear friend,
How are you doing recently?
I found a good website last week: www.opilas.com.
They do internationa business and they sell different kinds of electronic products. Such as laptops, digital cameras, phones, notebooks and so on. Their products are new and original and have 3 years international warranty, so we can fix the product in our own country for free. Now , the Cristmas day is coming,they are promoting their products. So the prices are very competitive. I am sure it will be a good choice for us.

The nice things about the gels is that they do have electrolytes, which you don't really get from the candy.

Cliff makes a nice alternative to the goo - Shot Blocks.� They come in packs of six small jelly blocks, and are basically like eating gummy bears.� They are easy to eat, easy to carry, not messy like the goo, and have the same types of nutrients.� I find they taste a bit better, and are not as harsh on the stomach as the shots can be.� They come in varieties with or without caffeine depending on your preference.� Three Shot Blocks is basically equal to one Cliff Shot, so a package of six has the equivalent calories/electrolytes of one Cliff Shot.� Downside is these are harder to find...most supermarkets don't carry these, but I'm sure some nutrition stores have them.� If you live near a Wegman's, I know for sure that they carry them.�

While they may not taste as good as M&M's, just thought I'd offer the suggestion :).

Yes, Eric is very into the running circuit (races on weekends). He also coaches cross country at HP H.S. Good runner, and another committed coach.

Good reminder on the Big Chill being the day before the 10 mile - Grand Finale, in Mercer County Park. I'm looking right at it on my calendar, but I guess it's too far off, for it to have sunken in, for me. Oh well, I still have my toy ready for the registration fee - it's the right fee - a wrapped toy, right? Good to hear from you. Dave

Yesterday was my first time running at Giralda, I ran the 10K for the RVRR Masters men 40 team. From a look at the results, we placed 3rd. I myself did not wind up scoring but was quite pleased with my chip time of: 44.02. The weather was a gift, but possibly a bit too hot. My team member, Thomas Yakowenko, placed 3rd in his age group, with a gun time of 35:40. Good Job!

The RVRR 50's team also came in 3rd, behind Shore AC, and Rose City Runners. However, the RVRR 60 team scored #1 Good Job!

Thanks to my team captain, John Kane, for great e-mail communication concerning all the races. And Thomas Y., I did not realize you turned in the roster until seeing my email today -thanks (John did not run yesterday). Also, a special thanks to Bob Jorissen for driving myself and team member, Eric Davis, to the race. What a crowd, I didn't know this race was so large.

Hope it's not too cold for the 10 miler in Mercer County Park on December 13th. This year I'll renew my USTF membership before the race there.

The key is to train with what you you are going to race with, so you are used to it.� Try not to take just random stuff that people hand out at long races.

PowerBar Gels and Gatorade work well for me.

But anything that works for you and packs well for you might be fine.� But train with it to make sure it works better than plain water.� Experiment.� You might need electrolytes more than calories.� So try some products that only supply those.� (Zym and Saltstick Caps work for me.)

As far as M&M's - I just don't see them packing well for long runs or bike rides.

In the old days - 1975 - 1982 - defizzed Coke was the only thing we had for marathon nutrition!� And I recall it worked just fine.� Not many TdF riders finish a day without some Coke or similar soft drink in their musette bag.

Some ultra runners prefer good old peanutbutter & jelly sandwiches.� Skiing magazine ran a great comparison piece that compared a PowerBar to a PBJ, and the results were close.� PowerBar won out because of its packability.� I can't seem to find that online, but I did find that� Men's Health has the PBJ scored as winner for post-workout food.

I also find it hard to stomach the consistency and taste of goo gels!

I have never tried chocolate because of the melt-factor, but anything with
simple sugars should give you a little boost. My favorites for long runs (and
also before quick workouts/races) are a palmful of Skittles, jelly beans, candy
corn, or raisins. I've read that pumpkin seeds are also a great mid-race option
because they are loaded with iron and protein, but I have never tried them.

Hope you find this helpful!

I really like chocolate covered espresso beans and/or chocolate covered raisins. I tend to mix them together in a baggy and take them on long runs or have then handy in ultras. In addition to candy, just real food sometimes is nice..

For ex: I just ran a 50 mile race in 9:22 (11:15 pace) where the bulk of my fuel was gu (1-2 per hr)/ shot bloks, bottle of coconut water, a few s-caps, and in btw each 12.5 mile loop, i ate a little real food some banana bread, cookies, chips. However, mid-loop on lap 3 about 34 miles in, I also did about 4 shots (a double of jameson at AS#1 and a double of Peppermint Schnapps at AS#2) and after that kicked in my pace actually dropped (lol)... but you may not want to try that at home.. lol

Have fun, experiment.

Greg,
Unfortunately, I still haven't found any gels my stomach can tolerate so I usually take swedish fish or gummi bears (candy corn around Halloween). All my long run and races are done with candy and gatorade. The only negative to the candy-they get stuck in your teeth! I still think gels are easier and probably work better if you can tolerate them.

FYI-nothing really tastes good at mile 20 IMO:(

So, two weeks ago, I ran the NYC Marathon. What an experience! I brought plenty of goo with me, but luckily enough, tons of people were handing out bananas, which were much tastier and more inspirational for such a long run. Anyway, the course took me over four hours to complete, and in that time, I was reminded how much I really dislike goo, especially relative to bananas.

I realized I had a problem, though: I like bananas better, but my belt isn't big enough to carry enough. Goo is highly portable, but it is so sweet and still so icky (by my standards) that eating it is a chore.

Fast forward to this past Sunday, when I was doing just the opposite of a long run. I was raiding my kids' Halloween stashes, and I happened upon some M&M's. Wow. They were really good, and I made a comment to my brother-in-law -- You know, they melt in your mouth, not in your hands! And then I was reminded of a story that Mars developed M&M's for the military, as a way to deliver high calories, but without excessive mess. I looked at the package of M&M's, and the calorie content for this relatively small bag of M&M's was 240, almost 3x the calorie content of goo.

For the first time in my life, I think I was encouraged by the thought of M&M's being so high in calories, and I thought -- Gee, maybe it would be more pleasant to take M&M's with me on my long runs. I mean, bananas are just too big, and I really dislike goo. And, after all, they might be messy, but I could probably figure out a way to keep them in a fanny pack and just pour them in my mouth. They'd still be ridiculously sweet, but maybe they wouldn't taste as bad.

So... here's the question: Anyone ever dabble with bringing regular ol' candy on their long runs? M&M's? Anyone know of any real drawback to this? Goo (and by extension Powerbars and the like) seem like candy packaged to look healthy, but still just candy. Thoughts, anyone?

Registration for the Big Chill, a charity race to help kids, opens this Wednesday. We had a team of about 40 people participate in this event last year and I am hoping to get at least that many if not more participants this year.

The 5k race is being held on Saturday, December 12 at the Rutgers College Ave. gym. It is a unique event in that the registration fee is an unwrapped holiday gift for a child. Last year over 4,200 people participated and the charity collected over 5,000 gifts. All of the gifts are piled on the stage in the gym and seeing all of the presents gets everyone into the holiday spirit.

When registration opens on Wednesday I will set up a team called RVRR and Friends. As the name implies, I hope to get RVRR members as well as non-members to participate. Last year some club members brought their children to the race and some others brought their friends. The registration page is not up yet so I can't tell you all of the details but when oyu sign up there will be a place where you can select your team. I will provide more details when I see how registration is set up this year. Please note that the race draws a large number of slow runners and walkers as well as the more competitive types so everyone should be able to participate.

For further details, check out the event website: bigchill.rutgers. edu/Welcome. html

Let me know of any comments or questions.

Hey,

I figure that I'll give the message boards a try at helping me find a high quality treadmill. I have recently been searching on craigslist as well. Anyone know of any dependable sources? I'de like to keep things under $1500,(The family will be chipping in for a B-day, Xmas, Celebrate NYC etc. gift). I'm mainly looking for a strong commercial model that can withstand plenty of pounding. As many of you already know, I do MUCHO training on the treadmill(s) all year round.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch,

-Mike

P.S. RIP Treddy, you served me well. I should have used more WD40:( on you buddy.

Hi, Ken....

My boyfriend, John, and I would like to be part of the team (we are both registered RVRR members). We will look for more information on Wednesday. Thanks for always providing an extensive update on such things. I think your description is what is causing us to want to take part, vs. a one liner on a racing website.

Have a great day!

Jeannine

the beauty of electronic media is that you can simply hit delete if you choose not to read the post.

i am glad i have met many more friendly and courteous RVRR members than not. i still think it's a great group.

Hello RVRR members and friends. According to the Race Director the trial run on 12/5 will be moved back one day due to the Rutgers-West Virginia game possibly being moved up to a noon start on 12/5. I will forward more details as I get them. Mark Strawn, RVRR President.

Thanks for the update. I didn’t know Eric ran for our team. I guess you know you committed to two races on the same weekend - the Big Chill and the 10 miler.

Subject: [RVRR] Great day at Giralda Farms...

Yesterday was my first time running at Giralda, I ran the 10K for the RVRR Masters men 40 team. From a look at the results, we placed 3rd. I myself did not wind up scoring but was quite pleased with my chip time of: 44.02. The weather was a gift, but possibly a bit too hot. My team member, Thomas Yakowenko, placed 3rd in his age group, with a gun time of 35:40. Good Job!

The RVRR 50's team also came in 3rd, behind Shore AC, and Rose City Runners. However, the RVRR 60 team scored #1 Good Job!

Thanks to my team captain, John Kane, for great e-mail communication concerning all the races. And Thomas Y., I did not realize you turned in the roster until seeing my email today -thanks (John did not run yesterday). Also, a special thanks to Bob Jorissen for driving myself and team member, Eric Davis, to the race. What a crowd, I didn't know this race was so large.

Hope it's not too cold for the 10 miler in Mercer County Park on December 13th. This year I'll renew my USTF membership before the race there.
