Today’s 20-miler had a nice little boost. A breast-cancer awareness walk was finishing in the park when I was in it. In my second lap, one of the trucks driving and cleaning up stuff had a guy in the back throwing bottles to runners who caught up to him. He threw me a bottle of Propel<\/a> in Peach flavor. I thought I might have been getting regular water, which probably would have been better because I would have avoided the synthetic aftertaste, but it was a little boost of hydration during a run when I didn’t stop for water! After my third lap and onto my lower loop, I caught the truck again and this time another guy passed me an Aquafina bottle.

I was working a couple days on a film and while I tried to get out late Friday night for a run, I walked a few houses before I turned around, my face tired, telling me to get to bed. The fear was the calltime would be another punishing hour. I ate pasta for lunch both days, and I think that helped me to have a fairly decent first couple loops. I did the 20 miles in 2:32:00, or 7:35s. Here are the deets:
