Tomorrow, I’ll take RTY to school. Then, because my cousin is smarter than me, I’ll continue on to my favorite running loop and do my fifteen miles there. I was lamenting to my cousin that taking RTY to school would pretty much guarantee I won’t run when I return home. She said, isn’t RTY’s school halfway to your favorite course? Yes, yes it is. So I’ll dress accordingly and do fifteen miles. It’ll be six laps around the lake. And instead of parking in the usual location (I won’t need to, since I can get an even fifteen without the additional mile to my normal parking lot), I’ll park in the parking area right on the loop. That will work out really well for me, then, because I will have additional bottles of diluted G2 in my car. I went through three bottles of fluid when I did 13.1, so I imagine I’ll need at least three bottles with me tomorrow. And since I’m disinclined to carry three bottles with me, I can just have one, and then stop as required at my car to trade an empty bottle for a full.

My run will start about an hour later than I’d like it to, but at least I’ll be running the course I like. And the fluid thing was a big issue for me. If I do the 15 miles running around the lake here at home, I’d have to break out of the loop to come home and get fluids. And, once home, I’m very disinclined to continue. So just stopping at the car will be much easier.

Since you asked (you know you did), when I run with my team, they have fluid stations set up. So, for instance, on this particular loop, they normally have two stations on the lake (across the lake from each other), and another station at the normal starting location. They provide water and a sports drink, and I generally just refill the bottle I carry with me once it’s empty. I was dreading having to carry so much liquid with me if I ran near home. That’s a lot of additional weight to lug.

I have another fuel review I can do, since I tried a new product when I did 10 last week. But I think I’ll wait and try it out again tomorrow to see if I hate it as much as I think I do.

Curious, my TNT page is having donation problems right now. So the money that has been donated to my PayPal account will have to wait to show up on my TNT site until later.
