Congrats!!!!

I am ignorant. What, pray tell, is a "swedish fish" ? All I can picture is you sucking on some pickled herring....

Here is me before my last race:

I worked all week on hydration' date=' normally i run 10 mile every weekend and wear a camel pack so i dont worry about it because i can sip as i go an i put some shot blocks electrolite blocks in the pocket as well as a couple of the agave and Peanut Butter packets then every couple miles i eat a shot block and half way have some Peanut Butter. Works perfectly. But the Mudder is of course muddy!!! Lol so i didnt wear the pack. The morning of the race i ate a yogurt 3 hours before a protien bar 1 hour before and 20 oz of gatorade in the last hr leading up to the start.

I carried one pack of shot blocks in a pocket and opened them at mile 5 hit every Water station and got in about 5 oz of Water. I was dehydrated at the end but managed.

If you do a marathon wear a camel pack! I am doing the OKC half april 29 and will have my camel pack with gatorade and shot block, peanut butter and a Protein bar.[/quote']

I know this is an old post, but I'm curious if you had any problems with the camel pack? I used to love wearing mine while hiking but I haven't tried it since the surgery since they said no drinking through a straw. Any issues?

I so want to do a Tough Mudder, which is really weird because I have never liked being wet, dirty or running. Maybe I just didn't want to draw attention to the short (5 foot), fat (190 now) person. And now I am on the down hill side of middle aged as well (57). But some part of me is really drawn to this, ever since I read PDX Man's description of his event. I am not sleeved yet, so I will keep this in mind for a year from now. Something to plan for and I am not a big planner, no patience. Hence the screen name, RobbieNow.

What kind of training regimen did you have; is there a website for guidance?

Thanks

Robbie

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
