- 4 = the time my alarm woke me up
- 4:08 = the time I actually got up
- 4.5 = the number of hours, more or less, that I slept last night
- 7 = the hour at which I absolutely, positively, drop dead needed to be at my husband's camp to take over toddler duty

- 8-ish = the number of ounces of water I consumed before the run
- 4:25 = the time I stepped out the door
- 16 = the number of ounces of water I carried in my fuel belt
- 16 = the number of ounces of Berry nuun I carried by hand for the first 1.5 miles where I dropped it off so that I could drink it at mile 11.5-ish
- 0 = the number of minutes I should wait before I invest in a REAL hand-held water bottle. (Had one. Don't know where it ended up...)
- 3 = the number of energy gels I carried (mocha flavor)
- 2 = the number I actually consumed (miles 5 and 10)
- 4 = the number of minutes into the run (approx) that my front-zipping sports bra busted and was therefore only clasped together at the very top

- 2.5 = the number of podcasts I listened to along the way (Pop Culture Happy Hour, Slate's Political Gabfest, & Ask Me Another). If you are a runner and you've never tried listening to podcasts while you are out and about, you ought to give it a try. There is EVERY conceivable genre and topic and when you find the right ones, you really feel like you are on a group run full of people you enjoy. DO IT!
- 0 = the number of pee breaks (bushes or actual toilets) I had to take. This was SHOCKING when I realized it.
- 1 = the number of public bathrooms I ran by and into which I wanted to scoot to fill up my water bottle.
- 1 = the number of public bathrooms I ran by and into which I wanted to scoot to fill up my water bottle that were STILL LOCKED because it was not even 6AM yet when I got there.
- 55 = the temperature when I started my run, thus making the locked bathroom not such a huge deal since I was hardly over heating. The weather conditions were perfect, frankly.

- 1.444 = the calories I burned, according to my device
- 2:05:40 = the time it took me
- 9:22 = my pace per mile (WAAAAY faster than the 10:00 I figured I would be running)
- 6:30 = time on the clock when I stopped my device
- 6:59 = time on the clock when I pulled into camp to take over toddler duty
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call a very productive and successful morning! Many of you already shouted out your love and support on social media today (cuz I been so shy about this event, right?) so thank you all for that! I will sleep well tonight.....and try to get in a short recovery run tomorrow while the boys eat lunch with Scott and camp. Cuz, ya know, ONWARD!!
P.S. Final number: 0 = the Fed Ex deliveries I received today. Drat! No Juggler Knickers for me yet! Maybe tomorrow.....
Rockin' the messy, unmade bed, towel head and delirious joy at about 6:45AM today! PROVED IT!! |
Way to go Phoebe! You are amazing, I don't know how you do it! Happened upon your blog as I was updating my reading blog. At least you actually have people that look at yours :) See you soon!
