Running in the rain!

12/9/12

I woke up around 7 am this morning to meet Michael at Meadowbrook Park for a 10 mile run. When I woke up it was chilly and rainy. Michael didn't know I'm not really a big fan of mornings, cold, and rain, but I sucked it up! =) I was in a panic for about 20 minutes because I thought I had lost my new gps watch. I was tearing apart my house hunting for it, praying I didn't wash it in my bag. Finally, I decided I would check in my car when I got to the park. Luckily it was in my trunk from my run with Bob on Tuesday.

 Before the run, I downed a whole wheat bagel with honey and a coffee goo, YUCK! I was full of energy though, which was great. Michael and I began the run with a 2 mile loop around the park. When we got back to where the car was, I took two of the electrolyte capsules and a few big gulps of water to stay hydrated for the rest of the run. I told Michael, now that I have started taking those about 30 minutes into my workouts, I am able workout without crashing. The run today and the run with Bob on Tuesday wasn't cake but I would say it was pie. =) I used up the rest of them today, so I am going to purchase a bigger container this week at Body n Sole. Plus I need to look around for a gift for our Santa party on Saturday! I look forward to seeing everyone and hope that everyone has an awesome time! That reminds me... Lots of cleaning this week to prepare! BOO! Oh well, it will be worth it.

Thanks again Michael for the great run this morning. I definitely would not have been able to force myself out of bed when it was still dark and rainy outside if it wasn't for you saying "running, rain or shine"! =)
