if at first you don't succeed....


i bet you already know what i'm about to say....but i'm going to be a big girl and say it out loud for accountability purposes.  i didn't do my 10 miler on Sunday.

i even went to bed early! stupid snooze button. stupid wanting to sleep in on a weekend. it happens...

BUTTT. i'm tryin' again. I'm going to go do my 10 miler this evening with my head lamp and all! It's actually probably for the better since it will be a little bit cooler this evening without the harsh sun shining down.

don't worry, i'm very careful when i run in the evenings, and only run in safe neighborhoods. and ALWAYS run with my phone. I know it's not ideal, but it's what i like to do.

I'm going to try these bad boys for fuel this time. because i didn't have time to get any GU.

 
 
I think i'm going to try out some compression socks/sleeves for recovery after doing some long runs.
 
Does anyone have any good recommendations? I went to our local running store, but they didn't have very many options. I'm going to try Fleet Feet later this week.

  1. I have CEP sleeves and.i love them...they're still just as tight as when I first bought them after I've washed them a few times. Good luck!

  2. Thanks for the recommendation! I tried some CEP sleeves on, but they didn't have my size. I went with Zensah ones!
