Ran 2.6 miles about an hour after eating a hamburger, and ended up regretting it. I thought I had given my body enough time, but I forgot that my red meat intake has been cut way back, and as a result, I have a bit of a harder time digesting it. The last time I did any kind of physical activity following a meal with a lot of red meat, I almost lost my dinner. And that was just going for a walk with my wife . . .
So, on to the report. Walked the first 1/2 mile or so, then ran 2.6 straight miles. Don't have the splits any more. After the second mile, I was really feeling the hamburger in my stomach, and knew I wouldn't be able to run 3 miles, which was my goal. Cut it short at 2.6, as I felt if I had run further, the hamburger would have ended up on the side of the road. Walked the last mile back home, still feeling a bit out of sorts. Stretched out, and finally started to feel better. Mental note - give myself plenty of time between dinner and running - at least 2 hours if possible :) |
