I used to eat rice balls with plum filling as a portable snack all the time - and while running, I used to make my own "gels" by mashing salt and rice together in a baggy (oatmeal also works ok). I haven't done that this time around because I am trying to reacquaint my digestive system with gels prior to race day.Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-5024693332497074012016-01-12T21:12:58.311-06:002016-01-12T21:12:58.311-06:0020 miles - ahh, you're back.

Pack 'em down tight and they're portable.

Your training run, sounds like one of my half marathon races...

Have you ever tried huma gels? I switched to those last marathon training cycle and like them way better than the gus. They are made with chia seeds and other natural products and they taste less super sweet.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.com
