Notes:
When driving before planned run and you think "Well it is pretty shady on this third of the course"--it does not mean the other 2/3 will be shady. Or that the 1/3 you just drove will STILL be shady.
ZENSAHs are pretty amazing (wore my calf guys for the first time today--just because I needed something exciting to get me out the door)--but they do not cool you off.
No one can look stylish in a fuel belt. Ok maybe some people can, but I don't.
When wearing a belt with water bottles, it feels perfectly normal when standing in your house...and then you take three steps into your run and...you feel them (though I really didn't mind wearing it--got old towards the end when the bottles were empty and the belt was sliding all over me).
Water doesn't fuel you. When it is hot. And all you ate for the day was some PB toast and vanilla flavored Goldfish--well, fuel would be good.
When scheduled run is 10. And before you leave you already move it back to 9. You will probably find a way to make it 8.26 miles instead. Would have been shorter if I was certain of which road to run down to shave another mile off the run.
Most importantly--when your mind is telling you to stop, stop, stop--and you refuse to give in...well. That's a good thing. May not have been the fastest or prettiest. But it was a good one to start toughening up my mind again. Pretty sure I can outrun that bitch Irene.
