Here's my new hydration belt. It's pretty cooll!
Here I am running with the hydration belt
Rob ran to the temple a few years ago while he was training for a marathon. I've been kind-of thinking about it ever since because it was so cool! Janae asked me about it a few weeks ago--wondering if I had ever run to the temple. I had to tell her "no." But I'll have to admit I've been thinking a lot about it ever since. Well, there's no time like the present. Seize the day! On Friday (June 20th) I actually did it! I got up at 4:15 am and left about 4:30. I ran on 13th East. It went great! My heart and lungs? Fine. My body? Screaming! But I did it!
Ever since the Escalante "incident" I've been more aware of hydration, so in preparation for this run I bought a hydration belt--as you can see in the photo. It holds 4-8 oz containers for water. I actually only drank about 10 ounces, but it was nice to know it was there if I needed it! There's also a little "pocket" on the belt. I put in an energy bar, a couple of kleenex, some money, my driver's license, a credit card, and my cell phone. It was the perfect little pocket.
I arrived at the temple just after 7:00 am. In pain, but very happy! :)

Wow - I am so impressed!! Running for two and a half hours is HARD! I think I've only done it once and I swear, my knees were swollen so badly I had to walk with stiff, straight legs the rest of the day! Congrats!!
ps. the hydration belt is awesome - and obviously a must after Escalante!
Nice Monta! One day I should run with you ... although when you stop at Macey's for breakfast, I'll have to end the run. I already know I can't make it much further. I think you should do the marathon! -Davis
