1. I’ve decided I’m going to carry my larger water bottle on Sunday since there are 6 miles between Aid Station #1 and Aid Station#2. I’ve only run with it twice (last night and this morning) and it’s a bit heavy, but comfortable. I figure if my arm gets tired, I’ll just drink the contents LOL. Win/Win!
2.You know what’s really sexy?
Black Running Socks.
Know what’s even sexier?
Black running socks with shorts. On a 75* day. (Yes, I am leaning against the wall. I was feeling a little lightheaded from running in the heat without eating breakfast.
3. I only have one tab of the Nuun Cherry Limeade left. I’m saving it for the race to make sure I drink enough. You know you have an addiction when…
4. We are considering selling Beer Geek’s Jeep and my Civic and replacing them with one car, preferably one with an engine that rodents don’t like to build nests in. Is it wrong that one of my primary concerns is whether there’s a dealership I can run home from when I need to take it in? Also, I’m thankful that my dad loves car research and negotiating and is talking to dealerships on my behalf so that I’ll only have to deal with test driving our top choices.
5. Let’s talk goals for Sunday.
My “A” goal: Finish within the four hour limit.
My “A+” goal: Finish in four hours without pooping in the woods.
Yeah, I know, I have high standards.
So, what’s going on in your neck of the woods? I’m going to go finish painting some wood on the front of the house. In my black socks, shorts, and a running bra.
Don’t you wish you were my neighbor?
I’m sure my neighbors think crazy things about me. If my run didn’t hit a round number I run back and forth in front of the house. I’m constantly walking around in shorts sports bra and compression sleeves, They see me do all sorts of weird stretching on the back deck when I get back from working out, They see me get into our outdoor ice bath and teeth chatter for 15 minutes…. trust me, this shit’s normal.
Good luck this weekend, you are going to do awesome and I can’t wait to read all about it.
Why yes, I wish you were my neighbor.
And, if I would have had toilet paper on me last weekend I would have pooped in the woods in WY. Carry some so you can do what you gotta do. Good luck!
I absolutely love carrying a water bottle when I run! It’s become somewhat like a security blanket to me and I feel lost without it. When I don’t have it my hands seem to dangle in a weird, awkward, “what’s wrong with her hands” sort of way. LOL
I know the day is coming when I run out of Cherry Limeade Nuun and a sad day it will be as I can’t buy it up here in Canada. 🙁 But when there’s a will there’s a way and it will be mine!
And I know my neighbours think I’m bonkers. They look at me funny when I walk out the door in my white compression socks, colourful running outfit and Vibram Fivefingers and stand there staring strangely at my watch while I wait for the satellite to load. They probably think I have issues with telling the time! Hahahaha
Just a reminder to carry TP just in case you can’t meet your A+ goal.
Love the goals! I’m the one running in black socks, shorts and sports bra too…even better is knee socks with capris and flip flops that I wore to dinner during Ragnar!
haha! Can I just say I absolutely LOVE your A+ goal?! 🙂 Good luck!! You’ll do fabulous!! Probably a good call to take the bigger water bottle!
1 tab left?! I’d be calling the NUUN emergency hotline telling them I need an overnight shipment! 😉
