Last weekend I got up to 7 miles and realized I need some new shoes and a method of hydration. I am not a previously long distance runner so this stuff is so new to me.
I got a new pair of kicks (New Balance 890) and camelbak handheld in tow I ran 8 miles this weekend...YAY
What I learned with new kicks and a new hydration system
- New kicks work different muscles....I am so sore in the weirdest places in my calves & shins
- Handheld bottles even with straps and whatnot is too much for long runs. Next weekend I try the 'fanny' pak (not looking forward to having something strapped to me)
- It stinks not having a cut out in your foot bed for the Nike Ipod sensor in NB shoes
I have been noticing how hungry I am and I just crave carbs afterwards so I am going to work on a bread recipe...Jalapeño Cheese Bread and will get back to you soon on the results. The first loaf I made tasted bad. I discovered the flour was freezer burnt, wishing I would have noticed that prior too!
By the way... GIVEAWAY ends this Friday as it has gone on too long!!
Make sure you try on the waist packs. I went through about 3 before I found one I liked. The backpacks just seems to make me to hot but I like them for winter runs
