My Discovery while Running

My run started out like any other, it was the same run as I had on monday but with one big difference -- a discovery I found while running. My usual habit is to hop off the treadmill during my walk time and get a drink of water, but today I took a big drink about 5 min before and didn't stop during my run to quench my thirst. This may not seem like much but it made a huge difference in my run. I didn't feel sluggish because I didn't step off to get a drink and try to convince myself to get back on. Instead I had the endurance to keep going and even had a much better run. My lesson learned, get hydrated before running leads to a much better run, and of course hydrating after!

So today I ran on the treadmill again, my speed set at 6 mph (walk at 3 mph)
5 min warm-up
15 min run (3 min run/1 min walk)
5 min cool-down
