Running Later in the Day

Since moving to Oregon and working remotely full time, my running schedule has not been consistent. Sometimes it is early in the morning. Sometimes in the middle of the day. Rarely is it after 4pm. Yesterday, I decided to run after dinner. I don't like running close to eating a more substantial meal. It makes my stomach get queazy, and I feel bloated and slow.

Yesterday, was an exception. The run felt great. Better than most of my recent runs.

It could have been my diet for the day, which was not great. Ranchero's for breakfast, a fajita for lunch, and leftover veggies and potstickers for dinner. It was high in easily digestible carbs, and fajitas do seem to make me run better. One of my favorite pre-marathon meals.

I think I am going to try running more later in the day, especially as the days are getting colder.
