I prefer Target, and love their running stuff. I have never done Yoga, and I love Chocolate Milk in an iced glass after a long run or run period. Speaking of squating, my last half marathon, I had the shits at mile 9. Took 15 minutes off my time. lol.

I went out one night after work to do some hillwork but by the time I put on my headlamp (and took the obligatory picture for Facebook), flashing light, etc it wasn't really worth it because I got spooked by something moving in the bushes and only made a couple of passes before booking it another direction and heading home<br /><br />I hope Vegas isn't super cold, because the coolest it has gotten during my long runs in So Cal is like 50. I haven't been able to test out much of my cold weather gear. <br /><br />Don't your Chomps freeze in that weather? <br /><br />I did a week of Bikram a few months back and it really seemed to jack up my problem knee. It wasn't for me. But I love me some hot power yoga. Don't get to travel the 35 miles nearly enough to do it, but I'm planning to try and make it more after Vegas.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000228133919099421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-85536721011023737682011-11-21T14:46:59.853-07:002011-11-21T14:46:59.853-07:00Target is #1 in my book, although Walmart is good ...Target is #1 in my book, although Walmart is good for people watching!<br />My first timed run was a New Years Eve 5k that started at the stroke of Midnight.

I can't stand Wal-Mart. My least favorite store on earth. Call me a snob, but that's how I feel. I did hot yoga a couple of times. Liked it, certainly felt a little queasy at first, but pushed on. The only problem was how expensive the classes were, so I return to the great, free outdoors. (Love the SUAR long-sleeve shirts.

That being said, I had a carb-focused breakfast (since it was 12 hrs or so prior to race, I likened it to carb-heavy dinner "timing" for a morning race) and then ate a ligh late lunch. Immediately pre-race I ate a lighter version of what I might normally eat prior to a long run (like 25-50% of what I would usually eat). For me, it would be tempting to not really eat right before the race at that time but I didn't feel too full since I had basically been tapering down my food intake all day.<br /><br />Have a wonderful time!!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920256842347863670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-89974258440881705732011-11-21T09:40:41.810-07:002011-11-21T09:40:41.810-07:00I am so glad you asked these questions, because I&...I am so glad you asked these questions, because I'm having the same dilemma. All my runs are in the morning or at lunchtime and I'm really bad about my eating habits pre-race. I was thinking some beer/carbs the night before and some protein (chicken sandwich) early enough on Sunday (noon-2pm) so it'll be down and out by 6 (when my wave will probably cross the start line). I always do this dry heave thing before a race anyway, so as long as there's nothing to come up, I should be fine! Good luck to you!<br /><br />I may be your only Walmart fan!Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706432084531496657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-63829153986895490752011-11-21T09:05:36.383-07:002011-11-21T09:05:36.383-07:00I can't wait to see whateveryone does for the ...I can't wait to see whateveryone does for the night race.

Now i despise the place and the new remodel w/ lower shelves means they don't carry a lot of what they used to. Going to Target is like going to Kohl's...I want to LIVE there, esp in the home decor dept!!<br /><br />Night race? Ran an awesome beach run in Jax beach, FL called the Never Quit Never beach fest. About 2,000 or so ppl runnning down the beach in the evening. It was magical and so much fun!! All the women got this kickin' sea turtle pendant that was engraved on the back, handed to us by hot guys in Navy dress uniforms!! <br />Never done buttcrack yoga, or whatever you called it:) Only done yoga once (sad), and was so relaxed I fell asleep face down on the floor for an hour! hhaaa.Shortney Tobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267256484798099222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-33089333266691525602011-11-21T05:43:04.535-07:002011-11-21T05:43:04.535-07:00MOST definitely Target.

Maybe if they gave away Target gift cards for free, I might go in there.<br /><br />I am not sure what to say about the night run. I have done evening tris before, starting at 6ispm (wave start) , and I just try to eat a normal breakfast higher carb lower fiber lunch, and then a few bars (clif, marathon, ect) in the afternoon to keep me from getting too hungry but still being easy on my stomach. I have only had major stomach problems once, and that was due to having major mechanical issues before the start because of 104 degree temps, crying and getting a stomach knot before the swim, and then not being able to take any nutrition on the bike due to yet another gear problem. I tried to take it all on the run, and puked it all back up, with almost a personal worst. I placed 5th in my AG.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624297955496298110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-19738379771226899522011-11-20T20:34:37.964-07:002011-11-20T20:34:37.964-07:00ugghhh HATE walmart....avoid it like the plague......ugghhh HATE walmart....avoid it like the plague...what kills me is some people do say target is uppity and more expensive...things are roughly the same price....anyhow I always run in the evening during the week so I don't have to run with the stroller..I try to up my water intake and eat normally then hold off on dinner until after Im done...just my two sense!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493145398091462192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-50216378579383473212011-11-20T19:04:09.022-07:002011-11-20T19:04:09.022-07:00Target is soooo much better than Walmart.
