Went for a 2.75 mile recovery run by the river with the dog to try out my new hydration belt before using it on a long run. I love the run by the river - so quiet and yet easily accessible. The view across the river is stunning, even with the mist which is hanging around here and there. I had done some research into hydration belts and I chose the Nathan trail mix 4 bottle belt as I reckoned I wouldn't want to run with a hydration pack but might need more than two bottles. Rick uses a Nathan belt and it has served him really well on all his miles. On the run today I was comfortable with the belt although I think I will want to take one of the bottle holders off so I only have three bottles and sew some sort of other pocket where the extra bottle was. I like the fact that it isn't velcro fastening as that feels more secure. Think I will keep it and it will be great with the adjustments.
This morning 13yos slept in and forgot his paper round so I ended up waking him up when his boss phoned. That doesn't happen often at all and he was a bit upset. He is usually very conscientious. We did some tidying up and washing bedding and Rick went for his run over lunch. 11yod is out for a birthday party with a friend, going ice skating and then the pancake house. They will be gone a while as it is quite a drive to the nearest large town.
I really enjoyed The Hobbit last night although I did have to disconnect from the book as there are some huge discrepancies. Good film though and the effects are really good.
