Early AM 7

Distance: 6.9 miles
Time: 1:08

Mental note: late night viewing of election results and 4:30 am alarm clocks don't mix well. Also, it's turned a wee bit nippy in the desert. So the fact that I was sleep deprived and that it was colder than normal outside really made it hard to extract myself from my comfy bed, but I did it.

The run was uneventful, slow and dark. The cool thing was that my bladder was under control. I've not mentioned this in recent blogs, as I put it under the TMI (too much information) label, but I've had a big issue needing to pee a lot during my recent runs. It's pretty annoying. What's worse is watching the "flomax" commercials and giving it serious consideration. Eric recommended S!Caps to me because he thought that, maybe, I was having trouble getting the fluids to my system. Let me back up a little. I've been trying everything short of total dehydration to keep things in check, which is a little scary when you consider what dehydration combined with 26.2 miles could do to you. Anyway, it looks like the S!Caps, which have sodium and magnesium in them, worked. No potty stops today. I'll let you know how well they work after my next run.

Now get back to work.
