Had a great Thursday morning run with Shan last week.  We did the Pleasant Valley- Lamar loop in 1:16.54, a full 2 minutes faster than the previous week!!  With less than a mile left Shan commented about what a good run we were having.  I told her I had planned on surprising her at the end of our run with the secret to my faster running.

Camelbak brand electrolyte tablets.  I first used them on my run Saturday before last when I had such a good 2 loop Kens.  I could definitely feel the difference on one run.  My plan for last Thursday was to drink one tab with water when I got up and then have a 2nd one in my run bottle.  Well, it worked perfectly.  It was just Shan and I and I was able to talk the entire way and never really felt any lactic acid buildup like I normally do on Thursday mornings.  It was truly amazing and made the run so much more enjoyable.

I had Thursday off work so I decided I may as well add on a couple of more miles so I did an easy Lamar- 1st street loop for a total of 9 miles.   It was a great morning of running!!

This morning I did an easy Mopac- Congress loop (5ish miles).  I hope to get in a high 30's mileage week before blowing out my liver at Joe's Ice House in San Antonio this Saturday.  This will be the 2nd straight year for a Lee 'hood reunion at an old watering hole in our old neighborhood.  Last year was at The Texan Ice that was very close to the house I grew up in.  Joe's is a bit farther down West Ave.  My uncle Jimmy told me uncle Bud used to drink beer at Joe's 50yrs ago!!!!
