The running experiment…

This morning’s run was great!  We ran on the canal trail; one of my favorites.  Six miles of meditative beautiful running…
We tried out several new running items today.  Bennett tried his 4 bottle fuel belt which is definitely a must for the summer!  Bennett also got an arm band for the IPhone so we can track our mileage and pace since we don’t have a Garmin GPS watch.  That worked well.  We also tried Nuun electrolyte tablets, strawberry lemonade flavor.  I have mixed feelings about them.  The flavor was stronger than I was hoping, and wasn’t my favorite taste, but it was still better then drinking lots of the fake sugars in Gatorade.  I think I can tolerate them since electrolytes are necessary, but we will try some other flavors.  The last new thing of the day was as caffeinated Cliff Shot Block.  I can’t tell if the Caffeine helped or not because it was less humid then Wednesdays evil wheezing run, but I do not like the cherry flavor.  I will have to try caffeine in another form and on a more humid day.
