I ran all three allocated days this week!!!
Wed 30 mins, 2.42miles, 12.6 min/mile
Fri 31 mins, 2.46 miles 12.6min/mile
Sun 82 mins, 6.37 miles, 12.8 min/mile
I started the long run at 8:45am and whoa - it was already hot outside! I know 80 or 85 isn't killer, but compared to a wonderful 60 degrees it is!
I made a big boo boo on this one. I got up and had about 4 sips of coffee and didn't eat anything. I took my safety blanket with me on the run - a half full gatorade 2 bottle of fruit punch and by mile 4 I was feeling a bit nauseous...I think my stomach was eating itself!!
It is funny how, without my gatorade bottle, I feel like I can't make it to the end. I get so thirsty and I don't have any other way to take a drink with me other than to carry it. I know the half will have water stations...but, how will I feel without my trusted bottle in my right hand?
If anyone has any recommendations on how you stay hydrated on a long run, I'd love to hear them!
I'm off to meet up with my mom and boys for a day of shopping - what a great reward!
