I was traveling and had some time off running/walking. Time to make up for it.
Today’s plan was to do 5 miles. Challenging! I knew I would not be able to run it non-stop but my average pace was not too bad for a run/walk.
Distance: 5:21 miles

I have a trip coming up that’s why instead of a rest day it is a training day.

I start feeling better about running.
The weather is getting better (read “cooler”) for me, and I can run again.
Today’s progress:
Distance: 3.30 miles
Duration: 44:02 min
Pace: 13:20 mi
Calories: 402
Today it hot, very hot (above 100F) so I used it as an excuse not to run.
Instead of posting my running progress, I will share with you little something I treated myself to recently: Double Pocket Running Belt. I was thinking about getting one for such a long time – I had to get it!
First I was thinking about getting an iPhone running case to wear on my arm but then I thought it was not what I needed. First, when I run/walk I prefer not to listen to music. Second, I needed some space for my key chain.
I went on eBay and looked around. This belt seemed ok, it was under $6 with free shipping – what a steal. I ordered, and a few days later got it in my mail box.
Yesterday I gave it a try: it turned out to be exactly what I needed.
Double pocket feature is awesome: one is for my iPhone, and the other one is for my key chain. It fits perfectly, comfy and gives me more freedom. Yes, it might be not one of those fancy belts professional runners have but for me it is more than enough for now. Happy camper:)
