Fueled

Yesterday Jordan and I headed over to Wichita, because we live in a small town that never seems to have what we need.  We were on the hunt for some kind of hydration system for my runs.  I don't know how some people run in this heat without water, but I discovered on my last run, that 5 is enough to need to have something with me.  So after visiting several places, we ended up at First Gear in Oldtown, and I came home with this, but in hibiscus pink!

I tried it out on my run this morning, and there were a few things I discovered.  1.  I seemed to be more thirsty today, and I think it's because my body magically knew I had water and Gatorade with me, so I drank it freely throughout my run.  I only took two of the bottles with me today, but I'm glad I got the four bottle belt, because I think I'll use them as I increase my miles.  And 2.  I felt like I had a lot more energy throughout my run today.  I didn't really run much faster overall, but my times were more even and I finished stronger.  I also took walking breaks to drink my water, so it didn't even effect me. 

Back to yesterday...
While we were in Wichita we went to see this with some friends:

You have to see it!  It was amazing.  Jordan and I talked about it the whole way home.  We already want to see it again. 
And for dinner we ate at a place called Doc Green's where I had the Dr. Grilled Veggie. Which was:
Field greens, grilled zucchini & yellow squash, grilled portabella mushrooms, roasted red peppers, red onion, and avocados.  It was pretty good.  I guess as good as I'm gonna get around here.  But the company was awesome, and that's all that really matters.  Well I have to start sorting through my house.  We're having a garage sale this weekend, since we're moving next weekend.  More to come about all of that...
