I didn't do my long run last weekend so I swore I'd do it today...and I actually did. I got up this morning at 5:45 as Matt was leaving, and I finally got out the door around 6:45. I still feel like I'm going to look like a loser running with my camelbak, so I ran with this little guy...
And I probably won't do another 5+ mile run with it. I caught a horrible cramp around mile 5, it went away at mile 10, then came back with a vengeance at 11. I blame the fact that I was carrying something foreign in my hand. So, I think I'll run with the camelbak Friday for a 4-5 miler and as long as all goes well I'll use it Saturday for an 8 miler.
This run was pretty tough and I blame the humidity and the fact I've been so wishy washy with training. Chicago is only a month away and while I'm not trying to PR or anything I don't want to feel like death the entire marathon. So, back to training hard and praying my legs and hips can withstand a few more weeks of hard running.
Other than my run I've done pretty much nada today. I'm trying to watch the movie déjà vu but I'm quite confused...hopefully a Friends episode comes on soon.
Also, today is 9/11 and as pictures resurface from that horrific day, I'm reminded of how grateful and blessed I am. My prayers are with those who have lost a loved one.
