Good people there!!! \u00a0Super duper FAST people there so if I tried to do my long runs with the group, they&#8217;d be solo, too!<\/p>\n<p>So, I do my long runs on Wednesday and if I go to running group, I can run with MFH. \u00a0It works!<\/p>\n<p>Back to Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>My alarm went off at 1:00am. \u00a0I had been dreaming that it was 11:30pm so I was a sad panda when my alarm went off. \u00a0Hopped out of bed and went in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>My coach had me try something new for this run. \u00a0UCAN. \u00a0 Mixed the UCAN, drank it and got dressed for the run.\u00a0https:\/\/www.generationucan.com\/home.html<\/p>\n<p>The night before I had mixed up 50 oz of Tailwind for my UD hydration vest. \u00a0Grabbed the hydration vest out of the fridge, put if on and headed out the door.<\/p>\n<p>This was supposed to be a 2.5 hr run in my green zone.<\/p>\n<p>It was very warm and humid so I wasn&#8217;t very zippy but was having a solid run.<\/p>\n<p>About 1.5 hrs into the run, I noticed my hydration pack was chafing my lower back. \u00a0I&#8217;ve worn this pack many times without any problems but I&#8217;d never worn it with the reservoir. It sat differently and I didn&#8217;t notice the rubbing until then.<\/p>\n<p>I stopped and called MFH. \u00a0I needed a shirt. \u00a0I told him what shirt I needed and where it was. \u00a0Bless him! \u00a0He drove it out to me and I finished the run.<\/p>\n<p>13 miles later, I pulled into the driveway. \u00a0I had gone through all 50 oz of Tailwind and was down 3.5 pounds. \u00a0How is that possible!?! \u00a0Still can&#8217;t believe that one!<\/p>\n<p>It really was a terrific run!<\/p>\n<p>After the run, I helped MFH finish packing for his business trip and waved good-bye as he drove away. \u00a0He&#8217;ll be back in 2 weeks. \u00a0Two. Very. Long. Weeks.<\/p>\n<p>MFH will get to visit with #1 Daughter and pop in at the office. \u00a0He&#8217;ll have a nice visit and then stop by his parents place on his way home.<\/p>\n<p>#IRun4Aiden<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/?attachment_id=3992\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3992\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3992\" alt=\"13891993_1041638722622930_8263092392615193051_n\" src=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13891993_1041638722622930_8263092392615193051_n.jpg\" width=\"487\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13891993_1041638722622930_8263092392615193051_n.jpg 487w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13891993_1041638722622930_8263092392615193051_n-300x296.jpg 300w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13891993_1041638722622930_8263092392615193051_n-303x300.jpg 303w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 487px) 100vw, 487px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>#teamZensah<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/?attachment_id=3993\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3993\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3993\" alt=\"13754693_1035103583276444_8919149905104036395_n\" src=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13754693_1035103583276444_8919149905104036395_n.jpg\" width=\"824\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13754693_1035103583276444_8919149905104036395_n.jpg 824w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13754693_1035103583276444_8919149905104036395_n-257x300.jpg 257w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>#AbbottWMM<\/p>\n<p>#ChafeX<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was another dark o&#8217;clock running day.
