Still running…

It’s been tough. The move and other things in life have kept me busy and somewhat discouraged. I went about 4 weeks without running at all. I’m still training on all the days I should. But three weeks ago I decided I had to get back into it if I was going to run the half marathon in September, let alone the full marathon in October.

I’m keeping up with my long runs. This past Saturday I ran 10 miles. Without stopping. Without walking. I certainly haven’t done that in at least 9 months, if I’ve ever done it.

Special thanks to my dorky looking water belt from Dick’s and runners GU. A word of advice: don’t buy the orange flavor ;)

Can’t wait for October!!

    Thank you for blogging again!

    My running belt is a Camelbak Flashflo. Moves with the body instead of against it. 45oz capacity.

    TRP

    Ah! I should have come to you for advice first! Mine only has 4 flasks of 10oz each. Thanks for sticking around!!

    40 vs 45 oz ain’t no big deal. Flasks are a good idea, too, because you can have different beverages available. The 45oz bladder has its advantages, but you get one choice for beverage.

    I’ll always stick around. Thanks to the internet, you’re stuck with me for life.
