Today as I was getting ready for my long run, I put on my sneaks, HR monitor, watch, arm band and iphone (man thats a ton of stuff), and loaded up my water bottle. After my bottle was filled with icey cool relief, I was chatting with Casey a bit about the rest of the days plans once I got home. While I was standing there talking to him, I was fidgeting with the bottle and found a comfort feature I have literally been unaware of for the past 4 years having this darn thing!
Tightening feature!!
My lovely water bottle!!
Top: the stupid way I have used this water bottle
Bottom: the infinitely better, more comfortable, awesome way I will wear it forever
I have very tiny hands so before learning this feature, I had been gripping this thing pretty hard for countless miles. This way, my fingers can just rest around the bottle instead of giving myself tendonitis of the fingers!! What a revalation, truly life changing. More importantly, how could it possibly taken me this long to figure this out. How do I make it through my days, seriously?
Due to my new discovery, well not due to but man did it help, I had a great run. This week was a cut back week with only 13 miles for the long run before really getting into the thick of things with 19 miles next week and 20 the following!
Post run I recovered with a great smoothie (although it looks like elephant shit, poopey, doo doo). I love having coconut water post run so I threw some of that in there with some spinach, banana and strawberries and small dash of peanut butter.
Spinach makes everything look gross!
After a fantastic dinner Casey chefed up, we took Scar to the dog park for a little bit to get some energy out. She is now thankfully passed out on the floor!! Mission accomplished!
South West Pork Chops with onion, peppers, black beans, jalepenos and sweet corn over a bed of brown rice!
Hope you are having a great weekend!!
