Ran in the Murray Fun Days 5K today. The course was short because apparently some of the parade people moved the turnaround :-). It was hot, but tolerable. I opened in 5:05, then did another 5:05 and finished in about a 5:30 mile. My time was 5:48 but I think it was equivalent to about 1610-16:20 on a normal course. The last mile was pure misery.

Pain. Heat. Vomit. . . . .

That about sums up my run. In the 75-degree cloudless weather I experienced severe cardio fatigue, had to stop three times and vomited a yellow-green substance that I think was a combination of saliva and mucus. Ended up with 1:18:01.
