Fuel for intervals

Run Girl Run is a blog that covers just about every aspect of health and fitness. While the primary focus is on my trials and tribulations training for various races, I also talk about my favorite types of exercises, experiences from my yoga instructor days and all kinds of nutrition stuff, with the occasional product review sprinkled in. Follow me as I overcome injury, try to balance a social life and beat back laziness to tackle the marathon, half marathon, 5K and every distance in between.

Do you know what drives me bananas?

After I wait forever for my work computer to boot up and I'm finally connected to the VPN, I get a little pop up message that says updates have finished installing and I need to reboot the computer.

Serrrrriously? Yes I'd love to wait another 20 minutes for my computer to be up and running.

But on the bright side, I'm working from home today and get to avoid commuting in the rain! Yay!

I also get to avoid running in the rain because it's interval day, which means I'll be heading down to the fitness center at lunch to use the treadmill.

Last time I did intervals my stomach was grumbling half way through the workout and I could feel my legs getting more and more sluggish as I got hungrier. This week I'm going to experiment some different pre-workout snack options to make sure I have enough energy to get through the workout.

What do you use as a pre-workout snack for your tough runs? I'm not sure what I have in my cabinets, but I'm open to any suggestions.
