A little label reading in the pantry this afternoon, getting ready for my long run.

Blackstrap molasses has the same ratio of simple to complex carbs as rice or barley syrup; and calcium, magnesium and potassium out the wazoo. No sodium, so you'd definitely have to add a pinch of salt, but I do that anyway.

I have all this barley malt syrup I need to get rid of, so I mixed them half and half. I'll let you know if I start barfing at mile 6.
