Okay–I started out with my ‘water belt’ on with a few snacks in the pocket. This was a first–it took some getting used to it wiggling on my body. It was hard to chew and run–I felt like a little kid trying to breathe, chew, swallow and run–wow, that takes coordination!!! First 8 miles were awesome. Then I hit the ‘hill’. It was one mile up then one mile down–of course, it undulated to and fro but I was going at an ascent the entire way. I had to utilize the run/walk breaks my running group practices (they are a Galloway training group). I would run for about 6 minutes then walk 30 seconds (and drink–I have not mastered drinking AND running) and towards the end I switched over to the 4 and 1’s. The hill made me tired.
All in all I was pleased. The other firsts were chaffing on my legs from the shorts (noticed that in the shower–looked like someone had dotted me with a red marker around the top of the thighs) and sore toes!!The tips of my toes were sore–lesson learned there–cut my toenails shorter (I wear flip flops all the time and had really pretty manicured toenails) Not anymore. Too funny.
