Where did June Go?
Hey Guys!
So where did the month of June go? Is it really July this week? Woah! So that means that I've been training for a month already! That's crazy. I am feeling great. Of course I still have those achy muscles... but I feel good when I'm out doing my runs overall. I ran 9 Miles on Saturday. It was my hardest run yet. First of all, because I've never in my life ran that far before, and secondly, I had Panda Express the night before, so that probably didn't help much :) I had to stop a bunch in between. But I finished in just under two hours.
When we run, we are supposed to be drinking water and electrolytes and eating some stuff to give us energy. I tried a Power Gel during my run, and it was so disgusting. It is literally a liquid Power Bar.. yea... gross! It was sooo gross. But i have to say, it did give me the little jolt I needed to keep going. Maybe I should just try a different flavor.. like chocolate!
Oh... and this is how dumb i am... I am running.. its about Mile 7 or so... and I took a drink from my bottle, and I went to put it back in my fuel belt, and apparently, I missed and the bottle fell on the ground. And i didn't notice until like 3 minutes later and I had to run all the way back to find it. That added about a half mile to my course. I was so mad. HAHA. I'm a dork.
Thanks for checking out my blog. And thanks to all those who have donated. I'm almost half way to my fundraising goal! So exciting.
Love,
Kelley
