Under the weather, but still out running

Today's plan called for two miles.  I've been a bit under the weather lately and a little weak, but I went out anyway.  I just got my shipment of Gu gels from REI.  One was leaky, so I used it this morning.  I think it really helped.  Normally, there isn't much that my stomach can handle that early in the morning, but Gu gels seem to work well for me.  The one I had (Just Plain) has some caffeine, too, which doesn't hurt first thing in the morning.

I finished two miles in 22:39.  That was even faster than my run on Tuesday.  Not speedy, but acceptable.

Today, I tried out my new iFitness belt.  I overloaded it a bit to see how well it would behave.  It rolled a little, but stayed pretty well put, considering what I put it through.  It is very comfortable and does a good job holding my cellphone, which I use to play mp3s.  I think I will be able to remove Gu gels as I need them.  I got the double pouch so I could separate the Gu gels, which get... well... gooey, from my phone and money.  One of the pouches has an inner pocket where I put my money and credit cards.  Since it wasn't a very long run, I wasn't sweating all that much, but the money was still dry.  I'll use it again on a long run and see if that holds true when in contact with more sweat for a longer time.

I am not sure why Blogger insists on rotating this picture...
