Who says you can't get rich running? I'm still waiting for my Brooks sponsorship to come through, so I'm not rich yet. But I find a lot of spare change out on the road. Our family total for the summer so far: $10.65. And yep, $10.00 of it came from this one big find. Seriously, I'm not ever fast enough that I should pass up some cash. Today was a dime. I'm working my way up towards a cup of coffee.
Do you have any tricks for staying hydrated? When we were on the road, I realized I didn't like the taste of the water in our cabin. We were fifteen minutes from the closest store, and I kept forgetting to pick up bottled water anyway, so I felt like I was always slightly dehydrated. By the time I got back home on Saturday, I felt like I was days behind in drinking. So I got up to run Sunday morning in the heat, and I was in the hole.
On a normal, 10-mile run around the lake, I'll usually go through two water bottles as I run the lake. On Sunday's 5.5 mile run, I was out of my first water bottle by the end of mile 2.5. By the time I got home, I was even more in the hole. What stuns me, though, is how sore that kind of dehydration makes me (and keeps me) for days afterwards. I was more sore on Sunday afternoon after running 5.5 than I normally am after a 10.5 mile run. Gotta do better.
