6-mile+ run with the Fuel Belt which weighs in at 2 lb. fully loaded. Not a run like I had hoped for. Had planned a much longer one. Haven't slept well in 2 nights. Fatigued. Not eating well. Ate too close to the start of the run. Felt sluggish. Had a blueberry muffin and 2 Pop Tarts and 16.5 oz. of water prior to the run. Drank 7 oz. Gatorade High Endurance Orange and one Zone near the end of the run. Running with the Fuel Belt was no problem, although I did notice it shifted once one of the 4 bottles was emptied. Will have to go with the Gu packs from now on. The pocket on the Fuel Belt is only big enough for Gu packs not power bars. Plus, the Gu enters your system quicker I've heard. And, there's no chewing, which impedes breathing. Will probably do a long run on Monday a.m.
