Run and Chew Gum at the Same Time?


This week my running has been pathetic at best. I was supposed to begin training for a half marathon Jan. 3. I was sick that week, so then it became Jan. 10. It snowed this week and my treadmill at home (which had been working for 2 weeks) had issues again so I’ve logged 3 miles this week and that’s it.

Tonight, I will be making my first return trip to the work gym after my last oh-so-pleasant experience. Hopefully more people are interested in happy hour than workout hour since it’s a Friday night. I’m also going to try something new today while running. There is a woman at the gym who runs for hours on the treadmill (no idea how she both mentally and physically does that) and I always notice she has a pack of gum with her. Then I read on KIMpossible’s blog that she uses gum as a thirst-quencher and as a way to control her breathing. So tonight, my pack of Trident and I will give this a whirl. Hopefully, I don't choke.
