Went to the doctor yesterday because I was pretty sure I had a kidney stone. Sure enough I have a 7 mm stone and since the ureter is only 5 mm it will not pass on it's own. I'm going in for a lithotripsy tomorrow morning to have it blasted. Because of this I am going to miss the 5k on Saturday so I decided to run the course today. My thought was to push the pace since my next run won't be until Monday. I had no energy and couldn't even hit 5k pace during the first mile. Decided to back off the pace a little and just cruise through the rest of the course. Mentally I'm ready to run fast but my body does not want to right now. |
