Today I ran with the Galloway training group again, and I'm bone tired, but I did it! According to my Garmin, I went 6.31 miles in 1:35:03, a little slower than usual, but I'm glad I finished! And a 10K plus, to boot!
I tried a hydration belt today, but didn't like having something around my torso for that duration--it drove me a little nuts, and I didn't even use the water bottle, which was in the back. (Maybe I wore it wrong!) Anyway, I saw a couple of people with these handheld water bottles--I think I'm going to look for one of those.
I also need to buy a t-shirt that's not 100% cotton! I realy sweated a lot today. (Sorry for the charming image!) Several people commented aftward that I needed to get a wicking shirt, with the longer runs ahead this summer.
On a positive note, my new-ish haircut is finally long enough to *barely* fit into a ponytail for my workouts! Yay! I still have to clip the sides of my hair, but now it's a lot more comfortable. No more running with headbands, caps, or 5-6 clips in my hair! I probably sound vain for worrying about my hair for a running group. Mostly, I just wanted my hair to STAY out of my face, but I also didn't want to be remembered for having "bed head" for every Saturday morning run.
Part of our course today went around Lake Lynn, and that was very pretty!

"Lake Lynn" looks like a wonderful place to run.
I've been spending to much time with my gal pal (Her name is "Lynn")(what a coincidence?).
And I finally found a gal I can connect with.
She's still recovering from back surgery that she had in February.
I must say, she's recovering extremely well. Much faster and better than two of my buddies that have had similar surgeries in the past year.
She's ready to go on a few walks with me, and hang out while I get my run in.
You are doing so well......running 10k+ distances already. Especially up there where you are at with the hilly terrain.Keep up the good work!
