Hi Guys
I'm back from my 50th birthday weekend extravaganza!!!! Spent 2 days shopping for new clothes that fit, had lots to eat and drink that I shouldn't (the German markets were fabulous Magdalene, almost like the real thing), so I'm guessing I may have put a few pounds on this weekend!!!!
This morning I did my first ever 10K in 1:10:19...........and I ran the whole thing. Still can't believe it!!!!! It was fantastic being part of a 12000 strong crowd...will try and post some pics tomorrow if I can get photo bucket to play nice!
Welcome back! Sounds like you had a terrific birthday weekend. Congrats on running the entire 10K!
I love water and usually only drink water and then 1-2 cups of coffee every day. I gave up soda awhile ago and don't miss it. I drink a glass of water as soon as I get up in the morning, while I journal. I have a water bottle at work that I'm constantly refilling, and a Brita at home. I'm a civil engineer who works on water and wastewater projects, so I'm a big proponent of tap water - no bottled water for me, only tap!QOTD: Do you get your daily recommended amount of water in? Or is this something you could work on? Do you think water is beneficial at all? Or could you do without it?
I think water is extremely beneficial in keeping us hydrated, especially right now as the temps cool, when the indoor heat can dry us out and make us more susceptible to picking up germs and catching colds. Water also helps flush our bodies of toxins. It also helps us feel full when we might otherwise grab some food that we don't really need.
