Had to split my mileage up today due to a morning meeting.  Ran 5.15 in the morning before work and did 4.85 in the evening running in the rain.  It was nice to have my Zoot tri shoes.

Easy jog in the morning.  I don't normally listen to music, but I will be doing most of my long run by myself Sat, so I tried it out on my run this morning.  Not bad, I will need to mix up the track so I don't get annoyed by the songs.  I also don't want to become dependent on music to motivate me to run, so it will just be an occasional thing.

Ran all of my miles on a 7.2mi loop trail.  I was the first one at the trail around 8:15 and had to break all of the spider webs.  The trail was also wet from rain the night before, so I had to do some puddle hopping and a few I just ran through them.  I do love my new trail shoes, the water went out of the shoes quickly.  It was starting to get hot by 11, and by the time I finished around 1 it was in the 80's.  I was running low on water the last loop and I started the last loop by drinking half a 20oz bottle and filling 3 of my 10oz bottles up.  I will have to carry 4 for my 50k during the 7mi stretch w/o an aid station.  The rest of the race has aid stations about every 4mi, so 2-3 bottles full should be fine.
