Day 109.

6 mile run today, and I had so much fun!  We were camping in Utah at a state park on the north end of the Great Salt Lake.  I took paved roads around the campground and down by the water until I had reached my 6 miles.  I definitely do better on the longer runs.  My Garmin tells me my pace is slower than when I do my 3 milers, which makes sense I guess.  I think that in my mind I'm telling myself I need to go farther, and stay strong longer, so I keep my pace pretty moderate so I don't tire out too fast.  I really enjoy the long runs.

Today was also the first time I've attempted a run while wearing my hydration belt.  Since I was going six miles in an unfamiliar area and it was warmer weather than what I have been used to, I thought it was a good time to start practicing with it.  I'm glad I'm starting now, because it felt very cumbersome and awkward at first, and I think I'm going to need to make some adjustments to it, maybe add some Velcro on the straps, to make it less bothersome.  By the end of the 6 miles I was used to it, no biggie, but it does take some getting used to having that water bottle gurgling up and down, and the belt tight around my waist.
