Thank you for your song suggestions.
For today’s tempo run, I decided to try beta alanine. I have taken it once before, a week or two again and could not get over the tingling! It was crazy. I talked to my dad, who takes it for weight lifting and Janae, who takes it before long runs and decided to try it again. This time, the tingling was not as intense, but I’m not sure I noticed a difference in my run.
Regardless, I had a good run.

I’m hoping for a full snow day tomorrow. We have to make up the days at the end of the year, but I still love a surprise day off in the middle of the week. I’ll take it!
*Check out this great video of Kara Goucher talking about Boston, her son, bouncing back from pregnancy and more!
*Do you take any special supplements to enhance your workouts?
I also take magnesium w/ calcium (for absorption) to speed recovery.

Great runs! I know, MORE snow, we are having a tough winter!
I don't take any supplements. I don't even take a tylenol. I am as anti drugs as they come.
Nice tempo run!!
The only supplements I take is an occasional iron pill.
I haven't ever taken beta alanine. But, I do take calcium/magnesium about 3 times a week and a multivitamin. That's pretty much it.
I will check out the video here in a minute. I read an article about how she will do 12 consecutive weeks over 100MPW and can't figure out how she's back up that high after having a baby!? I am just blown away! I sure hope I atleast catch a glimpse of Goucher there in Bean town :)
Great job on your workouts!
Great job on your workouts Keri.
Thanks so much for posting this video. Wow, 120 miles a week?! Goodness. This makes me feel insignificant. ;) Wow. How do they do that and stay injury free?
I have been really tempted to try Beta Alanine, I have ready good things about it. Let me know how it keeps working for you!
does coffee count as a supplement!? great job on the running, you're such an inspiration!!!
