I successfully did my 9 yesterday morning! I wouldn't say it was substantially easier or harder than last week's 9. It was another gorgeous morning. I did try the Clif Shot Bloks in the orange flavor, which were not too gross. They made me feel very caffeinated. Today my legs have been pretty tired, but I'm going to go out again tomorrow morning.
This evening, courtesy of Jenne, Andrew and I watched the movie Spirit of the Marathon, a documentary that follows several runners (both elite and not) as they prepare for the Chicago Marathon. It was pretty good! It definitely made me understand how someone could get addicted to running marathons, although I don't know that I personally will be that way. One of the elite runners they followed, Deena Kastor, had maybe the most amazing legs I have ever seen. And, she's not even tall -- she's my height, 5'4". If legs like that on a fellow short person aren't inspiring, I don't know what is. ;-)

Did you get the cran-razz flavor too? I think it's my fave Shot Blok flavor. I'm glad you liked Spirit of the Marathon!
The only flavors they had the running store near my work were orange and margarita, so I got one of each of those. Will try the margarita this Saturday, although I wouldn't be surprised if it were icky (it advertises, "3X the salt!"). I need to just order some things online, since I don't seem to have time to frequent the runnings stores that have better selections of these things.
The movie was great! I think it maybe helped Andrew understand what I'm doing.
