Run a long the greenbelt

Today was my last long run before the big race. I decided to go into Boise and run along the greenbelt, which is where the actual marathon will be. I have not checked out my race map in depth yet, so I am not sure if I ran exactly the same place that I will be running in two weeks, but I was close enough. The change of scenery was nice for this 14 mile run and I felt great. No silly animal stories this time. I did see a bunch of squirrels scurrying about throughout my run, a dead mouse somewhere around mile 7 and a horrible stunk smell around mile 9. But the real drama with this run was my own fault. I have a real issue with nausea that hits me about an hour after I finish a long run. Sometimes it's so bad that I will throw up every time something hits my stomach, which makes post run hydration and protien intake real difficult. The other day I was in a running store and I saw this electrolight tablets that are full of vitamins, minerals and ginger. I thought this would be a good thing to try since ginger is suposed to help with nausea. I dropped a tab in my camel back with about a liter or so of water and shook it up and away I went. Well after my second sip from my camelpack I decided that I did not like the taste at all. As my run went on the taste really got to me. I could not drink it at all. My ran caused me to run through a few parks, so I tried to get drinks from the scattered water fountain which didn't work. Suck a sick teaser! I was so thirsty as my run went on, but I just could not drink the water I had. Yuck! So much for the ginger helping me...I think it make me even more nauseated! So for all you runners out there, I do not recommened the ginger electrolight tablets that are out there!
But really other then that little set back, it was an ok run. Nice to know that it's my last long run until the big day...just 12 days away!!
