Saturday I took Ruby along running nearly 3 miles entirely! There was a marked improvement in Ruby’s leash manners. We completed our first full 3.5 mile run with the assurance form Coach Kathy that every Saturday we will be adding a bit more to our runs. ZOMG - I guess I am now a full fledged runner. Who knew?
Today for my 3 mile Run I will be trying out all kinds of doodads and whizbangs:
After pining for a Garmin Forerunner and not having the cash to throw down a few fellow runners convinced me to try a less costly alternative. So tonight will be the maiden voyage for the nike + sport kit, in my ghetto shoe pouch (comprised of a piece of fabric and 7 safety pins) until the nifty silicone

. Never used the stuff in my life, and likely would never have thought of it until it was too late had I not heard about the dreaded runners 'diaper rash' that led me on yet another obsessive researching bender. Evidently when running it is not at all uncommon for your skin to rub itself raw any where you have skin to skin contact (read : thighs) or any where tight elastic touches (read: sports bra). Since I am a firm believer in prevention and learning from others misfortunes I figured it was time to take the leap.

I hope to have some news on all the above mentioned items soon - and yes I did purchase all of these little critters, hope they work!
