I've decided to stop drinking alcohol, and this will be day one on my sober journey through life.
Didn't really do much the week after my double marathon. Took Monday, Tuesday off, Wednesday slept all day as I was strarting to get sick. Went on a 50 km mountain bike ride on Thursday, short 16 km mountain bike on Friday, followed by a 10 km trail run on Saturday. Didn't do anything on Sunday what with work and Mother's Day.
Because I rested on Sunday, I decided to go for a long run on Moonday. Did a nice easy paced 37 km trail run. Had a bit of an issue on the run. Ran out of both energy and water between km's 14 and 26. There was a section of the trail that was out and back 6 km. I stopped at a restroom for water and I filled up my one water bottle. Ran out of water 5 km into the stretch, and I had to resort to drinking out of mission creek, not good. So I need to do a better job of making sure I take enough water with me. And also, I only brought two clif shots with me for nutrition, wasn't enough.
So I decided to make some homemade protein/energy nars. I found a recipe online that seemed good.
Dry ingrediants: 3 1/2 cups quick oats, 1 1/2 cup powdered non fat milk, 4 scoops soy protein
Wet ingrediants: 1 cup sugar free syrup, 2 egg whites (beaten), 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup applesauce
Extra stuff I added: 1 cup ground flax seeds, 1/2 cup crushed white chocolate, 1/2 cup crushed walnuts, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 more scoops soy protein, 3 scoops nutri plan meal replacement mix, 1/2 cup flour, more appleasuce.
This made a total of 14 bars and cost me roughly 9 dollars to make. I'm pretty sure these bars have more protein, plus other good stuff than most other bars I've bought. And at about 70 cents a bar, I win!
