Literally. I decided to down a GU, (surprisingly, I am getting used to them and they aren't so bad now), then grabbed the dog and headed out the door tonight. I felt myself take off like a rocket (well, for me a rocket, for Rick, molasses) and kept telling myself, slow down, you're too fast. But I couldn't help it. I felt great. No hip click, no calf pain, just feeling good.

Way to go! I bet you felt great afterwards too!
I never think to take Gu before a tempo run; I tend to have it with me for anything longer than 10 or 12 miles or so, but truth be told I rarely take eat/drink anything other than Gatorade except for races.
I'd probably do better if I was more consistent with that.
Great job!
