I was feeling a little self pity because I'm on a run restriction and it's been so beautiful outside this last week. Then I see this and oh the feels!!! Now I'm crying because in five weeks I'll be out there again for the rest of my life and not everyone will get that chance. Everyone needs to have the joy of running.

Pretty tough girl. I saw her story about a year ago, since then I haven't had a run that I don't think about her. She can push, so can I.
6.55 today.

I changed my ticker to a more VEGAS-bound-appropriate ticker (eek!!) ... and in the process forgot whether I had already added my four miles or not (boo!). So I left it and hope I didn't just cheat myself out of four miles towards my March goal, lol ... not the sharpest tool in the box. But going to Vegas, babeeee ...

I must admit, I do not drink this much water. In the hotter months or when I do my mountain runs, I will have water planted along my route during my long runs. Like last week I drink 2x 16.9 oz bottles of water during my 15 mile run. That run took me just a little under 2 and a half hours. This morning I ran a flat course also 15 miles and it was about 50 degrees out and I didn't drink anything until after I was done. Usually anything under 10 miles I don't worry about drinking anything. But I always drink a travel size mug of coffee before each run in the morning. That's a must. ;-)

That is effing insane.
I was thinking the same thing. First I wouldn't want to carry that much water with me, second I'd be peeing the whole time.
I agree - I would be having to pee every 5 minutes! Not to mention trying to carry all of it with you. No thanks!
I have been known to carry a 16 oz bottle of water in my hand while running. At first my shoulders would get tired (carry it in one arm switch arms after 4 miles switch it back - arghhhh.... but then after a while I just got used to it) Now a days I just plant water bottles all over my planned course in hidden spots.
Running on Redstone Arsenal is great (that's the Army base I work on) because it's not open to the public so there is not a lot of traffic on the weekends. The jogging path has port-a-potties and water fountains (turned off during the winter tho). The 2 mountains that I run up, I just plant 2 or 3 of those 16.9 oz bottles in the leaves at the base of the mountains. I run up one of them and back down, drink a bottle, then run all the way up the other mountain and down, and drink the other water bottle.
In our group long runs in research park, we have been known to stash a cooler of water bottles behind the sign of the high school or one of the Tech buildings.
As far a relieving that water, well I am a guy, so I like running in woodsy areas so I can sneak behind a tree if I have to.

Holy hell! That's nucking futs.
I may need to pack a Camelbak full of beer to help me feel a little bit better during the piss/puke breaks.
I may need this...

Cold wet 10 miler today. It poured the first three and drizzled the rest, yuck!

I had a really great 6 mile run today. I felt that runner's high feeling which doesn't happen very often, so yay! My average pace was over 45 seconds per mile faster than when I ran 5.5 miles two weeks ago and it felt pretty easy.

@shanaber I love agility! We do everything, conformation, obedience, getting into weight pull soon, nosework, tracking. All sorts.
No running today, worked a super busy event, with my dog in tow. We are both going for a nap now. Happy running everyone!0 -

Ooooh runners!!! I found you!
I'm just going to lurk or jump in late for March. My miles were less last month than I would have liked, it may have been the tapering for my half or resting for nearly a week afterwards. Regardless, I would like to keep my miles around 50 until I amp up training for another half in the fall.
Now I just have to make sure I don't EAT more as I up my mileage. It's a slippery slope for me, I tend to overcompensate and gain weight as my miles go up.
