Today was something new. Fog. Lots of fog. So for the first 3 miles I had to keep wiping my glasses off as they would steam up all the time! So a bit annoying but that's ok. I was trying to practice proper hydration and using gu. When I run daily I just wait till I get back, but when I run more than 10 miles I need water and a boost. The problem is I do not have a running partner which is okay if wife rides her bike with me because she can attach the water bottles to the bike. Our youngest went to granny's today (we call it granny camp) so she did not ride while I ran. So i set up my water bottle in the driveway on the car and put some gu in my pockets. The draw back with that is when I run I have to come back by the house to get the water and there is always temptation of saying 'that's enough'.I kept strong today and fought that urge :)

Anyway, good run, two quick gu/drinks (at 5 and 10) and despite the humidity I felt pretty good!
