1 fuel belt and 10 miles later...

This morning I set out on my longest adventure yet. Graham and I headed to the Runners Roost to try to locate a fuel belt for me to take on the run. Luckily my dad has a good friend at work who runs marathons and gave me a tip for the type to get....and lucky again the store had one in stock and in my size. I also picked up a gel pack and was on my way. It was fairly quiet out on the run today, maybe passed by 5 people the whole 1 hour 45 minutes I was out. It was very peaceful and overall nice weather but a bit windy. My new strategy to drink a little something (either water or sports drink) each mile and choke down the gel around mile 7 worked great and I made it the whole 10 miles and felt good! Yeah! I saw some great birds on the way- all black with white wings...very cool. Thought my mom would like them since she is the black and white cat lover. =) 5 weeks until the mini-marathon in fort collins. I'm getting pretty excited. Today out on the run I even thought about someday training for a full marathon..... but we'll see!
