week 7 - sunny, hot and sweaty

It was nice to wake up in a beautiful Saturday morning for a changed. The weather was gorgeous, sunny and dry. It's a bit hot but I can't complain. I know it will only get hotter therefore, it's very important that I hydrate properly before, during and after running. I find it very helpful to bring my own water bottle. We have hydration stations every three miles and also water fountains are everywhere in the park. I usually filled my water bottle with water or Gatorade for every three miles.

I was quietly pleased with my performance yesterday. I ran up the hills and I finished strong. We run twelve miles yesterday but my iPod says 14.57 miles. I might have to buy Garmin Forerunner for more accuracy.

See you next week. Happy running.
