15 MILES!!

Ran 15 miles this morning! That is officially the longest distance I have ever run in my entire life! And it actually didn't feel that exhausting. I was definitely sore during the last 3 or 4 miles, but I finished feeling a lot stronger and less achy than last week's 14 miler. I am veeery sleep now though. Thankfully, today I have no obligations other than eat delicious food, watch football, and snuggle. And watch Saturday Night Live since I missed it last night (I heard it was awesome though...I love Tina Fey).

But back to the running. I am SO glad I bought a water bottle belt. It's a CamelBak one (this is my favorite brand...I used one of their backpack/water storage versions when I ran up Pike's Peak back in high school). The first time I ran with my new pack, it felt a little awkward. Everyone who knows me also knows that I prefer to run in the least amount of clothing as possible. I hate being overheated and I hate feeling weighed down by cotton or oversized running gear. So I was a little concerned that I wouldn't be able to get used to a rather large water bottle and pack strapped around my waist. But I've run with it three times now and absolutely LOVE it. As long as I tie it tight before the run, and get it adjusted how I like, I don't even notice it while running. And I feel a billion times better when I'm able to stay hydrated. For anyone who wants to run longer distances, I strongly recommend investing in one of these!

This is the one I have - of course, I had to get it in pink (they have several other colors, check out their website or hit up a local running store)!

It's super comfy and well padded - it never chafes or rubs uncomfortably. And the pouch on the side is the perfect size for goo's, snacks, car keys, and cash. Oh and the bottle is easy to pull out and put back while on the run!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday! Go Cowboys!
