A.M. Loop @ 3.5.

Went out for a easy run (I thought). I had planned on doing 7 miles (max) but ended up going up this sandy trail that was hard to run on and cutting into my big loop trail. So I did 8.5 out in the 90-degree heat. The heat didn't really bother me. I just ate a really bad lunch and it was wreaking havoc in my stomach. I had the dry heaves around the 3-mile mark. I wish I could have just puked and got it out of there. After the 4.5-mile mark I started feeling a little better. My muscles, joints, and the rest of my body feel great. I have developed a blister on the little tow of my right foot. It hurts. I've got to dry it up so it won't be a factor in the half marathon this weekend.

What did you eat for lunch?

90-degree heat + a run has a tendency to reveal what foods you should not be eating at all, and especially when it is hot.

I didn't need the run under the sun to tell me that what I had for lunch was bad. Two slices of hospital pizza, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, green Gatorade, Oreo brownie. I should have skipped the pizza and brownie.

Yes, you did. Otherwise you would not have eaten it. You can learn all you want in books about nutrition, but there is nothing like a profound memory of pain that keeps you from eating bad foods.
