You came up on my feed today. Cool. Also a Florida runner. Except I’m not a Florida newbie I’ve been here since 89. If you haven’t done it yet, the Space Coast Marathon/Half is a very well run race. I have run it for 13 years in a row. After a while Disney got old for me lol probably cause of all the years raising kids and with the price and drama of it selling out, I’ve never run Disney. But I know that Dopey is no joke. (It snowed?? !). Anyway, cool, I’ll be following the NYC journey. It’s tough right now but you got this. We just have another 6 weeks and it will be a bit of relief. (Yesterday was the most humid I’ve ever experienced here! 😂)

You are a Florida running pro! Yes I've heard such great things about the Space Coast Marathon. Definitely on my list! If it wasn't so close to NYC this year I probably would have done it, so maybe next year! Disney definitely has become the "must do" race and it's extremely popular, but I also feel like that may slow down in the next few years. Living so close to the parks still has a bit of novelty for us, but I'm sure that will change over time. I'll be interested to see if Universal adds races once they open their new park. I'm so happy to hear you say that yesterday was the worst you experienced because Even being here 3 years that was how I felt, but also wasn't sure if I just blocked other summer runs from my memory lol. That storm just really enhanced the muggy weather this week. Hopefully it dies down for the long run! Stay hydrated and thanks for following along!

I do half packets of LMNT. The sodium is too high for me too. But 1/2 of the packet works great

Yeah it seems to work really well for many!! I ended up ordering more Skratch as it doesn't bother my stomach as much. I might give LMNT another try once I get into my longer miles and am in the heat for a longer period of time
