September Recap

The end of September is here! During September my work life got crazy, my daughter started school for the first time, I volunteered at a race, ran two races (both PR's) and helped my Mom's Run This Chapter which 1000 miles ran/walked for September! That being said it was a crazy month. I did not get around to keeping my running streak but I did almost double the amount of miles I ran in August so it wasn't a total wash. Look for recaps on both races soon!

I'm thrilled that the weather is finally getting cooler. I am over the super hot days! One thing that kept me going during the hot months was making sure I was hydrated. Normally on a three mile run, I wouldn't need any water but with the hot heat I needed to carry my hand held water bottle on every single run I did. Recently I was sent some Oral I.V. It is a concentrated dose of rapid hydration.


You can either drink it plan or add it to 16 oz. of water. I choose to add it to water. It didn't change the taste of the water at all which I enjoyed and I did feel very hydrated after I drank it. It was the perfect size to just throw in my spibelt and take with me on a long run. It really helped me not feel drained after a long run. You can read more about this product here.


How was September for you?
