First, we enjoyed our first mother's day at casa de iglehart. We had Meg's mom, Claire, and the kids over for brunch. I made creme brulee french toast which is always delicious.
Today I went for a 16 mile run, with the help of Meg and Danny.
I have discovered that I have been dehydrating myself on my long runs by not drinking enough. On Wednesday I calculated how much liquid I need on my runs. I weighed myself before my 6 mile run and after. I sweat off approximately 3 lbs per hour. Since 1 lbs of sweat is about 16 oz of fluid, in an hour I need to replenish 48 oz of fluid. I have been replenishing about 7 fl. oz per hour on previous runs. I do own a Fuel Belt, but have not been using it to its fullest extent.
So I had Meg and Danny meet me along my route with bottles of G2 to refill my fuel belt. With there help I finished in about 3:00.
sounds like it was a fun time had by all.
