11 Weeks

I made two big purchases today - the shoes I very well may end up running the Marathon in, and a hydration belt (more on that in a second). I've been wearing the same shoes since July (which is really not a good thing, I should get a new pair every 3 months) and I needed a new pair. I'm sticking with the Asics GT2140, but decided to get a different color combination, I was tired of the blue/grey. This time, I went with red/grey. Only other difference, the other two pairs I had were wide with, these are not. They don't feel any different, so we'll see how it goes.


And now, for the hydration belt. We're going to be doing a couple of long runs where there won't be people to pass out water. Staying hydrated (even in the cold) is key, so some folks developed this creative belt that carries small water bottles that you wear around your waist. Kind of like a fanny pack, but cooler and more practical. Anyways, I bought one, and tried it out today while I was at work.


Sorry it's a little blurry - and yes, I know what you're all thinking. I will be running the Marathon dressed exactly like that.
