Wet your whistle

The water crisis of 2 weeks ago was averted for this last long run. Instead of leaving from the house and going out and back, I hopped in the car and parked at my "out" point, did a water and potty stop at my house and finished my run at the car. This worked MUCH better than when I had to get the fill up from early morning car wash guy. I was a wee bit tired and twingey, but I attribute that to being off over Labor Day weekend.

This weekend is my first 14 miler ever. I am a little nervous, but confident that it will be fine. To date, the farthest I have ever run is 13.1 miles. I am making sure to plan ahead - smart food and naptime so I don't just gobble up any progress that I make. Running would go much more smoothly if I shed 15-20 lbs. Woe is me, right?

Feelin' Hot

The heat has not been breaking here lately. I tried to go out last night but even after dark it was hovering around 90 degrees. This morning it was still a very muggy 75 when I ran. I keep repeating to myself that it is good endurance training and will make the cooler weather bring seemingly miraculous running.

In the meantime I have to remember to call some people about stashing water bottles... Maybe I will even do a destination (read stash the car with a cooler) run. I am feeling adventurous. It is a sweaty kind of adventurous but adventurous nonetheless.
