I must be a weirdo. For my long runs, I MUST have a scrambled egg with chopped up morningstar farms "sausage", all wrapped up in a tortilla. Along with a few cups of coffee. Sometimes I'll have this as little as 0.5 hour before I run.

For my mid-week, every day type of runs, I don't even think about it (generally because they are shorter). I pretty much always take water for anything 6 miles + and if I'm going to be out for 8-9 miles I'll take HEED in place of water.

I just don't really think about it that much!
