I run, therefore I am…919 kilometers farther than I was Dec 31 2007
Tomorrow is Wednesday and it is a total rest day. Thursday I will be going to West Edmonton Mall water park to climb really high stairs a lot and then slide down water slides in the wave pool. That will be quite like doing hill work, I think. Should be fun. [...]
My second trial with the Sierra Hydration pack turned out well with the bite valve bitter taste issue resolved. I guess cleaning it by soaking it in soap and baking soda really helped. The only other tweak I can think of is to put one of those small velcro straps near the end [...]
