Silver Comet

Solid 8 mile run today at Silver Comet.  It's a trail here in Georgia that's pretty flat and only for runners and cyclists, so it's nice.  Also where I ran my first half, so it holds a special place in my heart.  Also tried a gel for the first time today.  Powergel Vanilla.  Not bad, interesting though.  More liquid than other gels and had almost a cake frosting taste, but very artificial.  I think it gave me a boost because I did finish strong.  I'll write a post soon on different fuels one can take.  I like Jelly Belly's Sports Beans but they are very chewy and don't get in to your system as fast as gel.
