Food for Thought
{Training}
This week is week 9 of 12 for my training schedule (otherwise known as the aforementioned Hal Higdon Schedule of Hell).
My long run this Sunday is supposed to be a 15k, which is about 9 and a half miles. I can do that. Last weekend I ran 10 miles, and it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I have mentioned before that most weeks, I just take it mile by mile and like I said in this post, many times I want to stop before I even finish the first mile! So every time I look at the training schedule and see the looming long run, I cringe a little. However, every time I finish a long run, I feel so good, physically (even if it was hard) and definitely mentally.
I feel good when I rise to the challenge. Personally, I feel great. When I can challenge that distance and conquer it, I feel awesome. I want to run farther and faster each time, just to prove to myself that I can. My competitors are not the other runners. My competitor is me. Sometimes I beat myself up. And sometimes I beat myself.
{Fueling}
Speaking of beating myself up, a few times before my long run, I have not eaten enough. Then I hit the wall hard. So I am trying (and still learning how) to eat smarter. I have been eating more rice, beans and sometimes even toast, which I wasn't eating before. But I know I need to feed my body in order to have enough energy for the long runs. I eat tons of veggies and fruit!
So, endurance folks, what is your pre-race/long run energy-boosting meal?
I usually have beans and rice the night before and toast with almond butter or cereal and fruit the morning of the run.
{Racing}
I have never done a marathon. It is one of my goals in life. However, I admit to you people, I am scared. (Hold me) I run alone. My 10 mile run last weekend took me an hour and a half. That is a long time! I don't know if I can train and run for 2 or 3 (or 4?) hours. Not only is that a long time, and there is only so much time in a day, but isn't it BORING?
I am thinking of signing up for a 20 miler. Maybe that is a good stepping stone.
{Thoughts}
I need your help.
Training advice: How do you stay motivated? Do you run alone? If so, do you prefer that? Do you get bored?
Food advice: What do you eat the night before/the day of a long run or race?
Races: I want to run a marathon! HOW do I make the training a good thing and not something I am dreading? How was your first marathon? Please tell me if you have any tips!
Do I just need to buck up and sign up and deal with it!?

Guatemalan Sun God
I purchased what I think is a Guatemalan antiquity when I was in Chichicastenango in March of this year:
I wanted to mount it on a base similar to these Vicente Wolf examples:
In Wolf's book, Lifting the Curtain on Design, he speaks of finding objects and having them mounted on a base by a vendor at the Bangkok Sunday Market. I would love to have access to that resource but since I don't see a trip to Bangkok in my near future, short of making one myself I have never found a source to make one for me at a reasonable price.
Then, I saw these examples that seem much more manageable to pull off.
Either mount the piece on a plain lucite base:
Or on a wood or steel base:
I think I may finally be able to take on this project.
