11 miles fueled by bill bars

Today was my first double digit run since my half marathon in January. 11 miles in 1:37:15. it was another great run. i have a 5k tomorrow but i think i will take it pretty easy on that one. 28-30 min area should be good enough.

Oh i also made my 'bill bars' last night here is what i put in them

-dry ingredients-
6 cups oat meal
6 cups bran flakes
1.5 cups grape nuts
1.5 cups all bran buds
1.5 cup walnuts
3/4 cup flax seed
3/4 cup dried cherries chopped
1.5 cups chopped dried dates
1 cup chocolate chips

-binder-
1.5 cups Karo syrup
3/4 dark brown sugar
heat in pan for 6-8 minutes
pour binder over dry ingredients and mix. it will look way too dry to start with.
batch fills two jelly roll pans packed tight. i use parchment paper to pack it down.

makes 64 bars that are about 175 calories each.
