GU ain't for fools!

Today we ran at the Alameda Harbor where we had our very first run with TNT. I feel a bit foolish now re-reading my first post about 2 miles... CAUSE I RAN 8 TODAY!!! And it wasn't even that hard. 6 felt worse, but I think the weather today was more conducive to optimal running. It was cloudy and cool out. None of that sun business. Also, today I had 2 GU's during my run. The first one I had was "Plain" flavored... there wasn't anything plain about. It tasted like sweet goo with no real specific flavoring. YUCK. At the 4 miles mark I sucked up a Chocolate Outrage GU.... MMMMMM it tasted like brownie mix. So while this GU business is weird and... gooey... it totally made a difference. Again there was a fabulous pile of PB&J's awaiting me at the end of the run. I think knowing they were there got my through my last mile.

Now for some pictures!!!!



Coach Al and his big smile!

Did you just call me Liz?

You will be able to do it too! I never imagined 8 miles being easy... but it kinda was. Crazy I know. Hopefully we can run together soon! It helps to run with someone to be able to chat the time away.

I did call you Liz. And I noticed it after I'd published the comment.

And you liked it. :)

Dude, 2 is where it all begins! I think I felt more shocked when I ran 2 miles for the first time than when I finished 8.
