    crazy- I actually postponed my swim workout to watch the game... game 7 of the final, wouldn't miss it. However, I didn't watch Coaches Corner. The other night, game 6 I think, I was annoyed b/c DC just talked about the previous game rather than the first period...

    In-laws are in town. We had a good visit last night and the crabs were great! I was feeling better this morning, so I went out for a quick run. Felt good at first...ran further than I have so far... then hit a virtual brick wall and walked like a slug back to the house. Peachy.

    So it goes sometimes. I've hit that wall at various points and cursed the fact that I had to get home under my own steam! At least on the bike you can pedal-pedal-coast!

    Lise - I know - it was awful. I felt like I could barely get back. It was really lousy to feel so good and then feel sooooo bad. We need retractable wheels on our running shoes for times like that, don't you think???

    I had a run like that once. I was out on some trail, at about the furthest point, at 12 miles or something, and it was in the afternoon, and I was hot, and I just ran out of energy. I had to trudge back _so_ far...

    Luckily I didn't have to go that far. I run laps in my neighborhood, so the house wasn't too far away. I've been dragging all day, though. I had chocolate milk when I got back and just had a yogurt at my desk. Hopefully that will perk me up. I'm feeling a need for chocolate and my candy jar is empty... and I only have 1 quarter...crud. I think I'm going to run to the grocery store and get a banana and chocolate.

    I don't like carrying water with me, but if I don't, my route is constrained to where there are water fountains. If I forget and deviate, I'm in bad shape. I have a water bottle with a mesh handle thing that makes it easier to carry. A pack of Sport Beans fits perfectly in the little zipper pouch it has. I don't know that the "bonk" would be instantly remedied by 100 cal of sugar + a bit of salt, but it couldn't hurt. Anybody here use those "fuel belts"? I hate the feeling of anything bouncing on my hips/back/belly, but I also hate carrying stuff in my hand. So I may get one, though I don't like spending the $ if I'm not going to use it...

    Anyhoo, fish, maybe carry a pack of beans for use as needed next time. I do like the wheels idea. Makes me think of Phillip Pullman's books, His Dark Materials.
