Week 1
Day: 4 of 112
Workout: 30 minute jog or rest (I chose the jog, yay me!)
I missed you today!
I ran iPod-less today. I wanted to turn around and get it, but my mother dear didn't want to waste anymore time. So, when she realized she had forgotten her phone, I reminded her how quickly she wanted to get to the park! HA!
So I'm running along at Blackhawk trail (that's what I like to call it) and every time I set foot on that black pavement, I always get this anxious feeling of fear that I'm going to run into someone I don't want to see. When I get my comfortable pace going, I realize I'm having a hard time breathing. After yesterday's speed work, it felt like my body didn't know how to breathe anymore! I struggled a bit but quickly got things rolling. Then about 16 minutes into my run, about a quarter mile from the port-o-potties I had to stop because I started getting this pain in my tummy. It felt like a rock had just formed in the pit of my stomach! Yeah, I had to go to the bathroom. That's got to be one of the worse feeling in the world, seeing where you want to be, but yet it feels like it's taking hours to get there.
From lessons past, I've learned to ALWAYS use the restroom before you leave to go run. I've had to make a few pit stops at a friends house because I was still about 3 miles away from home. So embarrassing. Anyways, after a quick pit stop to the restroom, I finished the rest of my 30 minute run and had a wonderful dinner.
-The End.
*P.S.* -- Thanks Dee-no for fixing my bike!
