As I said in the previous post, last night I took an obviously needed (even to me) rest day, and I'm sure that contributed to the successful speed session tonight. However, I'm also wondering if my dinner and pre-run snack had anything to do with it...
Chicken, carrots and egg noodles in light gravy (thickened broth...it was a crock-pot thing)
Parmesan cheese-flavored crackers
2 cans diet Pepsi (yes, caffeinated...I never said I was perfect)
I'm wondering if before I wasn't eating enough carbs to fuel my run...hence the heavy legs.
Those of you who read this who are more experienced runners...what do you think? Good balance of carbs and protein? Any favorite pre-training foods?

I don't have any particular pre-run favorite foods, but you definitely need a good balance of carbs, fat, and protein--heavy on the carbs. Chicken, carrots, and noodles with light gravy is probably about right.
And there's always macaroni and cheese with hotdogs... =)
