Thinking ahead to the 3-a-days

I've been thinking a lot about the 3 8-mile runs that I'll be doing two days in a row during this event. While the marathon was a bit of a struggle (as they all are), I'm a bit more confident that breaking it up over different parts of the day will be more beneficial.

That said, I've started to make a list of things that I'll need to remember for the big 2-day event.

1) Consume LOTS of protein those days, like chicken, fish, etc.
2) Limit dairy to keep my stomach from being upset.
3) Ice baths between each run.

To prepare, I'll continue to take different paths each time so that I'm not bored and more importantly my body doesn't get used to the course.

There's plenty more where that came from, but this will work for now. It's an ever-growing list.
