More random things

I'm very jealous of my husband. He is off of work until next Wednesday. I really want to be back on vacation. I will be soon. In about another five weeks.

Over the weekend I had a new drink. While my husband and I were grocery shopping Saturday, I spotted Smirnoff Strawberry Acai. I wanted to try some, but I didn't want to purchase an entire six pack. What if I didn't like it? We went to a liquor store in town and the best I could find was a 40 ounce bottle. I bought it. I twisted off the cap later that night. The drink was gone in less then 15 minutes. It was so good! I think Smirnoff Strawberry Acai is now my favorite flavor. Sorry Smirnoff Wild Grape.

Before all of my long runs this week, I have been eating, drinking, ingesting GU energy gels. I have been trying different flavors to see which ones I like. So far I'm a fan of Tri-Berry, Vanilla Bean and Chocolate Outrage. I have noticed that when I have a GU my energy level is a bit higher near the end of my runs. Anything to keep me going longer is good.

The IAAF World Championships for track and field start Saturday. For the next week I will be glued to my TV watching as much track as I possibly can. I already have every live event set to record on my DVR. I'm so happy that three different channels will have live coverage. Can't watch enough track.
