I have a 12-13 mile run tomorrow morning (which I expect to take ~2 hours).  plan is for 2 6ish miles loops.  I'm on vacation and forgot GUs and fuel belt.  I'll carry a water bottle with me.  Normally I would take 2-3 GUs on the run.  I'll eat a good meal 2-3 hours before the run, but should I just (a) not fuel during the run (b) eat a bananna after the first loop (c) carry watered down lemonade in my bottle (d) carry a zip lock bag of peanut butter and jelly in my pocket [seems like a gross/bad idea].  Run is a Higdon 3/1 run so last 3 miles are supposed to be around goal mary pace.  Thanks.

Long as your hydrated, dont think fuel should be major issue if you had solid dinner.   Eat the banana and maybe 1/2 pb&j prior.   Should be ready for big breakfast when you get back...    Emailing BT on vacation???   Enjoy the time away.
