GU and Electrolytes...

Never heard of GU (pronounced "goo"), until I started running. Not very palatable and slimy, it got me through my 14 miles on Saturday, especially the last 3. For me, the Vanilla flavor is the tastiest and the Berry flavor is the nastiest.

Didn't run on Tuesday, since I was sitting in traffic on the Sunol Grade at 6:10 p.m. Plus it was like 100 degrees, and..... Excuses, excuses...

I was relieved to hear that friends of mine in Baton Rouge are fine after Katrina. The scale of this disaster and last year's tsunami are too terrible to comprehend. Sending my thoughts and good vibes to those in the gulf states.
