I was runnin!

I did my long run a day early this week due to the fact that we had Izaiah's 1st birthday party on Sat. I ran Jordan River Parkway cause it was close and I needed to be back to my house by 9:30. I like that run. I feel safe running alone cause I have people around me. Anyways, I had some new equipment to run with this week and it really made my run better. I bought a new fuel belt that I love!! I love having water right there whenever I need or want it. I thought it would bother me a little while running but it was so comfy. I also tried eating more for breakfast. I have a hard time eating really early in the morning, so I pretty much gagged down wheat bread, peanut butter and a banana. It was a little much all as a sandwich but it really stayed with me through the run. I also tried GU while I was running. I had never had it before so it was interesting to say the least. The first second I squished the GU into my mouth I gagged so bad. The texture brought back memories of when I drank castor oil to induce labor (I would not recommend it) It was awful. I swallowed it and chugged some water to wash it down. EEWWW it still makes me cringe thinking of it. But I finished it and continued to run. My big toe and shins had been hurting me earlier in the week but I was surprised that they didn't bother me during the run. I set a goal for myself and I finished at my goal so I felt really good after my run. I cant wait to find out this next week if I get picked to run St. George. Cant wait.
