I hope it goes well. <br /><br />I just read your post about the speedwork. I'm glad you did it. I think it would be way harder on a treadmill than on the road, plus I'm pretty sure RW wanted to kill you! that was fast! You should try it agian on the road with the mcmillian times.

I always feel less like a slacker when I do those because I am still sweating after haha. <br />I am considering taking swim lessons at the Y this fall too. Which class are you taking? I'm interested to hear how it is! Oh and also, my Y sells swim caps so you can probably buy one there if you need one :) <br />Also, I bring a beach towel when I swim. But i don't think anyone will notice what you do.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964218970797460632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271998807275036188.post-58496350715047924662009-08-27T17:34:43.959-05:002009-08-27T17:34:43.959-05:00I'm another one who is a salty sweater, and I ...I'm another one who is a salty sweater, and I use Nuun. It has done wonders for helping me get through runs without a complete meltdown. I'll drink some on the way to my long run (if I'm meeting up with my group) or just drink it during the run. I also try to drink a full glass every day outside of my running. It has cut down on headaches and dizziness I would get when I was a little dehydrated.hamburgerterihttp://myblog.runningrelays.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271998807275036188.post-53245781842416653122009-08-27T16:20:12.828-05:002009-08-27T16:20:12.828-05:00You probably won't need goggles or a cap, they...You probably won't need goggles or a cap, they are usually optional.

I thought I'd feel stupid, too, but it was actually good. I didn't have goggles my first night and needed them, so I'd get those. I doubt you need a swim cap, though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512369678051380428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271998807275036188.post-56147614128747776652009-08-27T14:06:11.450-05:002009-08-27T14:06:11.450-05:00good luck with swimming! i've always wished i ...good luck with swimming! i've always wished i could swim for fitness. it's so good for you and your body!!! i need to get to a yoga class.. they are just always offered at ridiculous early times or RIGHT after work...i need to suck it up and go. i always feel so good after. weekends would work...<br /><br />i agree-- the banana by itself is ok for a short run for me... but i need to figure out better long run fuel. thanks for your thoughts on this, i'm gathering info :)!No Longer Usinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711306638916660889noreply@blogger.com
