Drink Like a Camel

Lunch with Caitlin was sooo fun and yummy!!!

I’m mad that we only met when we did….when I’m about to move away! We have a ton in common and it was a lot of fun to hang out and get to know each other a little bit. We planned do some runs together during the next month and she said she was going to run the half marathon with me in Tampa in February! Yay!

And of course, Yellow Dogs Eat was fantastic! I had made up my mind weeks ago that I wanted to order the “Johnny Rocket” sammie.

It did not fail me!! This delicious sandwich was made up of turkey, smoked gouda cheese, cranberry sauce, cherry pepper rings, lettuce and tomato on their soft multigrain bread. Very yummy AND healthy!

About an hour before lunch I couldn’t take it anymore and snacked on half a peanut butter cookie larabar (!!!) to tide me over:

And just now I had a big crisp apple with a spoonful of almond butter:

I finally got one of this nifty “Camel Baks” based on Caitlin’s recommendation. I’d been using this sort of ghetto belt that only held 16 oz of water. It was annoying because the belt would jiggle on my lower back and sometimes would fall down. I was constantly tugging on it to tighten it and whatnot.

So, I bring you the Camel Bak:

This little backpack holds 1.5 liters of water and I can sip it while I run instead of having to walk and drink. I’ll probably look like Scuba Steve when I wear it but at least I’ll stay hydrated in the hot Florida sun!
