Have you done your Saturday workout yet? I did! Oh yeah. I haven’t been blogging all my runs, but I’ve been following a 10K training plan, and I was due for a long run of 4.0 miles. I tried to squeeze it in last night but didn’t end up leaving until 7:30 PM – so I just did 2.5. But this morning… I was READY.
Pre-run fuel (eaten whilst feeding Henners).
When I set out on my run, I intended to listen to the Pitbull station on Pandora (best running music ever!), but my mom called within the first 0.1 of a mile. It’s really hard to find the time for long conversations nowadays so I didn’t want to pass up an opportunity to chat. The iPhone earbuds have a little speaker on the wire so you can listen and talk, and mom ended up joining me for the entire run (I just hold the phone in my hand – but would love any recommendation for nice carriers). It was awesome! Like having a virtual running buddy to talk with – we gabbed the entire time and the four miles flew by so quickly that I ended up going a little over without even realizing it. I probably looked like an idiot talking to ‘no one’ but who cares.
Mission accomplished!
Post-run snack:
Now it’s time to round up some real grub. Have an excellent day!
Great job Caitlin! Run buddies are definitely the best way to make a run go faster! Enjoy your day!
