My remarkable sister-in-law, Ashley, has run not one but TWO half marathons!! With all of the time I have been spending thinking about running lately, that's just about as close to a superhero to me as anyone could be right now!!!
This week, she gave me two things to help me along the way!
First, after reading about my concerns with carrying water for Bella (and myself), she brought over this hydration pack she used when she was running. You tuck a water bottle in it, and it snuggly fits around your hips and is supposed to not bounce. It also has a cute little pocket I'm thinking about trying to carry my Ipod in if I decide to run with music.
Rick brilliantly suggested that I hook Bella's leash to the hydration pack, and see if it functions the way I need it to, so it may actually solve two of my problems. I am SOOO excited to try it out on Tuesday morning!
(If for some reason the leash doesn't work with the fancy new hydration pack, I did some research this weekends and this is the hands-free leash system I will probably get based on this article from The New York Times.)
The second thing that Ashley gave me this week was A MASSAGE at my favorite spa! It was so relaxing and gave me a lot of time to focus on my goals and de-stress while the therapist worked out all the kinks in my back from a week full of difficult patients!!
Thanks Ash!
