THREE THINGS TODAY IN ORDER OF OCCURRENCE
Thing The One: it’s nice to know I can crap out 50k without having to build up to it past the marathon distance (probably because I run a marathon almost every week).
Thing The Deuce: my Fitly water running pack finally bit it today. It didn’t break during my run, fortunately, but once I got home and was unzipping one of the front pockets to get my key, the little fabric/plastic holder for one of the shoulder straps broke. It’s not actually fabric so I don’t think I can sew it, and I don’t know if I’d trust glue on it given I usually take that thing on 4+ hour runs.
Thing The Three: my mom is here for a week!
Yayz.
Shoutout to Fitly
I’m pretty sure I’ve posted about these before, but if you are into running and want a fantastic running pack, give Fitly a try.
Their minimalist pack is SO light and comfortable. I wear this in the fall/winter/spring (when I don’t need to take water with me) and I seriously forget I’m wearing it.
Their hydro running pack is what I wear in the summer when it’s hot enough that I want to bring water just in case. Compared to a lot of the other water-carrying running packs I see people wear, this one is super low profile and doesn’t bounce around much (and probably wouldn’t bounce at all on anyone who’s even a little bit larger/taller than me. I’m so short I have to have everything on the tightest setting and it’s still a bit big, haha).
I’ve only seen one other person with a Fitly up here, which is shocking, ‘cause they’re SO GOOD.
Get one!
(I’m not getting paid by them, I promise.)
