Unfortunately, my left hip and knee don't *feel* very happy, so I'm going to go to a therapeutic massage place tomorrow in hopes that it will help. I'm worried that I have ITBS (illiotibial band syndrome), but this isn't as scary as it sounds and can be resolved by stretching and conditioning--the former of which I'm too lazy to do, and the latter of which I haven't really had time to do. But I need to make time or I'll shred my knees before the race!
Also, this is my second time trying gu, this strange substance that we're supposed to ingest every hour or so...I tried some chocolat espresso last time and (yummy as that might sound) it tasted--mixed with water-- like chocolate pudding and made my stomach feel really really heavy and strange. So today I'm trying a lemon flavored one, because I personally like the tart flavors. We'll see how it goes...
Fundraising-wise, I think I'm doing okay (although that's relative, I guess). I've raised 51% of my goal, thanks to some really generous people and one person I'm not even sure I know! We're having a housewarming party next weekend, and I requested donations in lieu of food or beverages, so I hope that helps out.
So that's all for now, I guess. I just ate a banana and a peach and am contemplating some peanut butter before I begin my long run...but maybe I'll just leave things as they are, because my tummy is really fussy.
We're running 14 again today before we up to 16, so keep me in your thoughts.
