A Run and a Root Beer


Did a 6.5-er at 12:30, today, and melted like a snowman. I'm running in the warmer weather to get somewhat acclimated for the warmer parts of the marathon on May 6. Obviously, you have to run slower in heat and your body needs to make some adjustments to run efficiently in the heat (not to mention electrolyte and carb replacement).
Lately, when I get back from my run, I get a hankering for a root beer. I can't explain it, but it goes down and tastes like nothing else after an hour of running in the sun (must be the sugar and sodium, good stuff).
Anyone else have a post-run/exercise drink that hits the spot? (Besides water, that is.)
