I've never done one but am intrigued to give it a try sometime. I can only imagine how difficult it is to manage your energy levels for back-to-back races.<br /><br />You have quite a bit going on on the job front.

Well done on your races! I've done the Midnight Madness a few times (there's a 5K at 7:30, followed by a 10K an hour later). This is mid-July in the evening, so there's that, LOL The fueling is tricky and the temps are hot and humid...but it's a fun event! I have never run any extra miles (before or after, though). Good luck with your continued job searching.Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-39770169921077037892022-03-29T10:21:59.341-04:002022-03-29T10:21:59.341-04:00We learned a trick with ground turkey from Rachael...We learned a trick with ground turkey from Rachael Ray. We'd dice up about a quarter cup of golden raisins for every pound of ground turkey to make it moister. I don't know if that will help with your aversion to turkey, but it might help with the dry issue. You honestly don't even notice the raisins - they don't change the texture or anything.NGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056381269070465424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-9153296752903068292022-03-29T07:07:18.361-04:002022-03-29T07:07:18.361-04:00I have never thought of running a combo race!

Doing extra miles in the blizzard would have not been fun!<br /><br />And you have another long run training race coming up! Fabulous. <br />Btw, did you bring a banana home? <br /><br />Congrats to your husband on the new job! <br />And good luck with your two interviews this week.
