If you do, then maybe invest in a hydration belt.<br /><br />I love the fact that you don't care what people who see you think about you. I'm the same way. Sometimes I get funny looks (especially when I'm running in pouring rain, from people huddling under their umbrellas), but I just think "hey, look all you want, I'm doing this for my health and because it makes me feel FANTASTIC!".Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051610135181378207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175234417511738347.post-57310561371800112872009-07-25T22:38:38.696+09:002009-07-25T22:38:38.696+09:00i think your strategy was smart. rock on girl.i think your strategy was smart. rock on girl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175234417511738347.post-1784329513856870262009-07-25T08:24:49.963+09:002009-07-25T08:24:49.963+09:00Aw, congrats!

I don't really think about re-hydrating mid-run but as I up my mileage I guess I'm gonna have to! I don't like the sound of water belts though...hmm maybe I'll check back here for more advice from your readers!!Angharadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024352579243647783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175234417511738347.post-54825108987777236492009-07-24T20:47:57.437+09:002009-07-24T20:47:57.437+09:00I find that anything over 60 minutes of running, I...I find that anything over 60 minutes of running, I need some sort of energy food to keep me going. Whether that means sport beans, energy gels, or even a handful of raisins for those "not a marathon but not a 5k either" runs. It really helps a lot. And hydration is very important, but I hate the water belts!! Usually I take a spin on my bike and stash a water bottle at the half-way point somewhere. :)<br /><br />Love how you described the simple beauties of running and nature...so true!! :) Congrats on the 10 miles!

I think you can survive without a hydration belt for now but if you ever do a race that long you may need one :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964218970797460632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175234417511738347.post-83093164457745724992009-07-24T12:52:51.459+09:002009-07-24T12:52:51.459+09:00congrats on the 10 miller!congrats on the 10 miller!Bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838820802921222536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175234417511738347.post-91084867933758029582009-07-24T12:10:54.816+09:002009-07-24T12:10:54.816+09:00congratulations!! what a huge accomplishment!
i ...congratulations!! what a huge accomplishment!<br /><br />i would definitely look into a hydration belt - or at least plan a route that passes a shop you can stop in for some water. and yeah, 10 miles is loooong - eat the whole bread and banana next time. :)lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499995535685053800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175234417511738347.post-34443876302758030882009-07-24T11:54:36.295+09:002009-07-24T11:54:36.295+09:00Now that is motivation and stamina!

I say invest in some sort of belt or handheld bottle so you can start exploring 10 mile loops! :) I'm more of a multi-bottle girl, but I've been seeing a lot of folks running with single bottle belts these days...<br /><br />I'd say for anything beyond 10 miles, pack a gel or those sport beans Val's a fan of. You're looking at a quick 100 calories of energy mid run.Karenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342562895850126585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175234417511738347.post-58106552519524624412009-07-24T11:36:21.248+09:002009-07-24T11:36:21.248+09:00oh my goodness, I would go crazy doing the same ro...oh my goodness, I would go crazy doing the same route four times! I HATE repetition on my runs - even one out and back drives me crazy! I like loops!<br /><br />Pre-run I will usually have 1/2 a banana with 1/2 tbsp PB and a slice of toast OR if it's a shorter run just the banana and PB!<br /><br />Good job on doing 10 miles! You should get a hydration belt, they are fabulous!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175234417511738347.post-18471391201564827292009-07-24T11:26:36.460+09:002009-07-24T11:26:36.460+09:00Oh my gosh!!!!!

You must be so excited. That is pretty hilarious that you ran the same route 4 times haha but I bet it probably helped to make it "feel shorter". Plus as you said, hydration is key!<br /><br />I don't care for my hydration belt, and have never actually worn it on a long run, but I may try it this Saturday, I'm trying to decide. <br /><br />Post-fuel it is just important to replenish your protein supplies, but it's not necessary to go crazy and OD on meat or anything like that. Just eat a balanced meal and you will be fine :-)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683458085072146620noreply@blogger.com
