Yay me!
Yep, total self congratulatory title. But I ran 10 miles today! So I say again, yay me! I started with the Texas route and did Texas twice. Then I did the Kensington route and ran up Adams twice (you know how Adams dead ends at the end of the horseshoe? That's there I started on Adams).
It's so much cooler, and that was a giant help. But, for once, I actually brought beverage and snack with me. Yes. I have been running longish distances in the heat with no liquid. Sometimes I do things that are, oh, foolish. And I know it while I'm doing it. I know it before I'm doing it. I know it before I just go ahead and do it again! I'm a hard learner!
For my beverage I had mostly water with a little salt melted in. I couldn't taste the salt and, frankly, that was sad. I love salt. My snack was a whole wheat pita. I think both of these things helped a lot! I do feel better, post run, than I have on my other long runs this season.
So that's that. The rest of my day is dedicated to video games! Yay me for that, too!

Congratulations! You are in great shape! My report is not nearly so inspiring but I'm very happy for you!!
Thank you!
I feel a lot better than I have after my other long runs. I'm really glad I brought the water and snack with me. Totally different today than I've felt the other days after my long run.
Water and a snack can make all the difference as you now know. I always take water (in my wonderful backpack!) on anything more than 3 miles. Don't take snacks but if I'm putting off a run until later in the morning I will eat my breakfast. Can't eat within 90 minutes of running though.
I'm bringing my pack with me for the race. It's decided!
