Burpy Thursday
I was pretty much debilitated yesterday when I got home last night after work and a combined workout. After lifting for upper body, I ran 4 miles easy and elliptical-ed for 10 minutes. It was all I could bare since early in the run I started burping up the salmon from lunch 6 hours earlier! I didn't want to stop because I needed to flush out the lactic acid in my legs and get in more miles. But I had to cut it short to crawl home onto the couch in time for the Presidential debate. This frequent indigestion (or whatever it is) has me stumped recently; it never used to happen in my young 20s. Balancing eating for sufficient energy vice a full belly has been tricky. Does anyone out there have this problem? If so, do you stick to carbs before runs? I could use some advice on tasty, easy to digest but filling pre-run foods (not PowerBars, which make me queasy on an empty stomach). I've suffered from hypoglycemia to the point of hospitalization before, so it's absolutely necessary for me to be fueled up before any run or workout.
