Mental Aspect

That reminded me of an 18 mile march I did this summer. After knocking out the first 12 or so miles at a blistering pace, I was feeling sluggish and a friend offered me the gummi version of those Sport Beans. I have no idea if their nutritional content did me any good, but I know I had a surge of energy after something besides dirt (very dusty trail) and water was in my mouth. The sugary taste immediately brought a smile to my face and got me back up to speed. Amazing how something as simple as sugar can inspire you.
