Sport Beans - So I Might Have A Problem...

Today I hit On The Run again to resupply my sport beans since I ate them all during a trial run. I had to get one of every flavor available. Look! They have orange, lemon-lime and watermelon too. As you can see the packages are open. It only made sense to try the new flavors and I only ate two. Well I ate two out of each package so that's 10 and now I'm all hyped up on Sport Beans and full of energy after my last Crossfit workout this week. I'm having to taper off for the big race on Sunday. I'm really in love with these beans!!!!!

Waterproof Headphones

Found the cure to my sweat in the ear buds issue today. It's Surge 2G Waterproof Headphones that I found at my local Best Buy. Today I was bound and determined to get that 6 mile run in. I started out ok but then I started feeling pain in places that weren't there before. My decision was to stop and not run through the pain. The last thing I want is an injury! My stopwatch had not been started and I had to rely on the music time. Apparently my run was only about 45 minutes. It didn't seem that long which is amazing to me! My other goal was to make sure to get my sweat on to see if these headphones really work and YES - they really do work. I should have used smaller inserts but they do what they are intended to do. Also after my workout I tried the Jet Blackberry flavored Gu. YUK! YUK! YUK! The flavor is fine it's the texture that got me. It's like a friend of mine described....a cross between toothpaste and an upper respiratory infection. lol - I think I will stick with the energy beans for now!

6 Miles....Just 6 Miles

Today is my long run for the 10K training portion of our fun little relay we are running next Sunday. I've got my supplies and I'm ready to go! Compression leg sleeves because my legs have had a history of serious issues. Body Glide to take care of the horrible things that can happen to your skin because you have been doing the same motion for too long. Gu which I have yet to try and Sport Beans by Jelly Belly. I chose cherry and fruit punch flavors and they are both yummy!

My goal was 6 miles but I cut it short to 5 miles. I had so many issues!
Sweat going into my ear buds so I could no longer hear my tunes.
My shoe lace came untied.
I was so stressed out that I was going to be late that I couldn't focus and cut my run short.
I had to do a couple of 20 second walks in between.
Nature called and I had to visit the port-o-potty, EWWWWWWWWWWWW!
After 1:08:39seconds I made it back to my car.

Hoping to get one long run in this week with a better time and not so many stops!
