Podcasts

I recently found podcasts.  I love Jillian Michaels and read in a article that she has a weekly podcast.  When i got my itouch, that wa sthe first thing i downloaded!  After i listened to all of her segments, I started to look for other podcasts to listen to while running.  I found Two Gomers run a half marathon and I love it!!! I am through season one where they completed their first half and now i'm on to season two where they run the full marathon.  It's sooo fitting since they are probably where I am in my training.  I guess since I've pretty much decided on the full in Cape Cod, i had better find a plan and stick to it. There are 11 weeks to it if thats the one I'm going to do.

todays run was pretty cool. Originally I was just going to do 5 miles, but I went to the duck pond and at 2.5 miles it didn't seem long enough, so I talked myself into doing 10 miles.  It had stopped raining and it was a nice night out. Not many people on the trail, so it was like my own private park.

Cool things from tonights run:

Ran further on the path than from even when i biked it earlier this summer!
Saw a guy with the same Teterboro 5k shirt on that I had on!  he didn't notice tho!
Saw a guy with the Ridgewood Run shirt on from this year - he did at least say 'hey' as he ran by.
Ran under bridges that I never knew were there.  One under Rt. 4 is soooooo cool. It's like a disney ride! There is also a water tower or something that i never knew was there. need to research that!

I didn't plan tonights run very well. I had brought water to work, but since it was raining, I figured I would go home first and then maybe wait until the rain subsided. When I got in the car, it wasn't raining so i headed to the duck pond.   I didn't have a water bottle in the car!

I did have my Gu bottle, so i ran to the first bathroom and filled it. I thought it would be gross, but it wasn't all that bad. I need to figure out how to keep colder water in the car. Wishing now i had the minivan with the mini fridge in it.. :)

Thoughts from todays run:

• should not have worn the windbreaker - waay to hot.
• do I need to go to the bathroom? 
• my shoes realllllly smell like cat pee.  wonder if i should just trash them?
• wow, there's really no one out tonight - this is cool.
• if it's 5:30 when i started and it's almost 7:30 when i finished, how much longer will I be able to do long runs at night? 
• I need to buy a portable light to attach to my jacket. Five Below had them - need to get them.
• Tomorrow needs to be a rest day. :)

The Gu container is such a great idea. I really need to post around on other blogs and facebook pages. I really think other people will like it!
