No go

This morning I woke up at 4:50 AM, hit the snooze button a million times and finally got up, had breakfast, got dressed, applied copious amounts of body glide, put on the iPod, got out the Gu and filled up the Camelbak. When I went to put on the Camelback a large stream of water trickled down my legs. For a second I thought I had wet myself but no such luck...the Camelback had sprung a leak.

I then spent the next 20 minutes, drying off the floor and myself and trying to find the source of the leak. While I couldn't quite pin point where it was leaking, I have a pretty good idea about the "why".....the night before I had decided to rinse out the Camelbak and filled it with warm soapy water and asked my husband to squeeze the bag so the water would quirt out forcefully and clean the tubing on the way out. I had forgotten how strong his hands are and it appears that he squeezed a bit too hard.

By this time, it was 6:30 AM, the sun was up and the temps were already in the 80s and there was no way I could complete a long run without water, so I called it day and crawled back into bed. I'm a bit disapointed because I had planned on doing 8+ miles, but sometimes it's just not meant to be.
