Whoa! That was rough! But... It is done :-)
So, let's start with the WATER BELT. I got to run club just after 8. I got a water belt and two gus or jels.. or whatever to try. One vanilla and one chocolate. I was filling the water bottle with water and it leaked out the bottom. My negativity towards the water belt had physically manifested as a hole! It was busy in there but I got the guys attention and he told me to get a new one. There were no more mediums. He said grab a new bottle... so I brought over another belt and jacked a bottle. I filled the other bottle from my belt and it leaked too!! So.. I had to take both bottles. I finally got the belt filled and then I couldn't understand whether to put it under or over my jacket. I dorkily put it over.. and my long shirt hung out so much more. I have to say... I was one big fashion faux pas!! I didn't have time to get gatorade like I had planned but whatever... next week!
So - I didn't like the way the belt kept crawling from my hips to my waist. The gel was really sweet. I had a little bit on the third walk and little bit more on the fifth walk. I still didn't finish it. All my water was gone by the end too!! I loved having water. I think I am going to get used to this belt.
My run was good for the first half. I stayed at the front of the group. We ran to Science World and back. On the way back I decided I didn't want to be a part of the herd anymore. I gave into my own pace at the pool and let the group troop forward. I was way to tired to care. I just slowed down my pace and my cadence. I finished last again. I wonder if I should join the 2 hour group next week? Maybe I will ask on Thursday??? Or.. maybe I should just try to keep pushing myself.
