Sliders -- make little patties about 2" diameter, grill as you like it and experiment with toppings: guacamole and a tomato hat, spaghetti squash and primavera, a pickle, bacon...whatever.

Thanks for this! I've recently been using Hammer Gels, which are a little thinner than Gu and have some aminos mixed in, but would prefer to move away from the highly processed. Blackstrap molasses is on the shopping list.

Yet another vote for RoadID -- I ordered the replacement tag that looks like a sleeve and it fits perfectly on my watch (1/2" band).

I recently bought a fuel belt with 4 7-oz bottles. I haven't noticed any extra fatigue, but then I only wear it fully loaded in heat when I'm likely to fatigue early anyway.

I started liking running when I gave up wanting to run a certain speed and went with the 'run till you need to walk; walk until you can run again' mindset. After that, I loved it. Then discovering trail running was the final nail.

I've heard that, too -- can't wait to try it! They are very military friendly and let us active duty types register early. Thank goodness, because the sellout was impressive...
