So I've already told you about my Na imbalance. I've had serious anxiety about running by myself without a partner after a few scares but I needed to do a 10 miler today and could NOT face doing it on the treadmill. Haven't ran outside in weeks and have only run over 6 2x in the past few months. Haven't ran 10 miles since mid-summer. So I knew it would be a struggle. I got everything ready including water and Jelly Beans sports supplements, gluten free runners have to use supplements sooner than your average runner.

It was a STRUGGLE. I miss having a running partner to keep me going and help the time pass. After mile 6 I had to stop just about every mile for a couple of seconds to catch my breath and shake out the pain in my knee. I tried to use my new Nike+iPod running chip which decided to keep turning itself off - nice and distracting during your run when it turns off every 30sec.

So I struggled and needed the whole package of beans and most of my water but I MADE IT!!!! I made it the whole 10 miles and was sooo tired and done by the end but I made it through. Came home and feasted on Crock Miseur - or grilled ham and cheese sandwhich plus crackers and carrots with humus and celery with peanut butter.

It was great but I know I'll be feeling it tomorrow!

Time to go grocery shopping so I don't have to eat the most random food on earth again this week. Last week was rough since we didn't make it to the store.

Hopefully I'll be able to drag my body up and down the isles with minimal effort!!
