I went for a run in Saugus yesterday. I ran 8 miles with a healthy dose of hills. It felt so good to be out there. I started off with a cluttered mind and by then end I was relaxed and clear headed. I ran a good time for me, 10:50 min/mile. That's a good clip for me especially doing that distance.
I had a little help while I was out there. I ordered some gear online and I got to try it out. I got a belt that holds two water bottles, this thing is going to be a savior on long runs. I also had an energy gel called "goo", Sean recommended it. I couldn't really tell if it helped but I know it didn't hurt. The last thing I used was this stuff called body glide to prevent chaffing. I had a pretty bad episode of bloody nipples on my 9 mile run from the friction of my shirt. (Am I getting too personal here?). Body Glide worked great, no issues yesterday. I'd say all 3 purchases were worth it.
There is nothing like running through Saugus with great music. It was a perfect day and my music really helped me on the hills. During the run I decided to induct Alanis Morrisette into my own personal music Hall of Fame!! She sings with such energy and emotion it's incredible...that's all for now Ross
