Not an easy run this morning. Really, really wanted to do this outside but somehow ended up at the gym and did this on a TM. Probably turned out better because I had a few issues during the run. Started off and by 5 miles I knew it wasn't going to be easy, somehow talked myself into easy and felt good until 13-14 when I started to develop a blister on the bottom of my foot. I could feel the fluid squish and release with each step until I finished up. It's about the size of a 50 cent piece right below the big toe on the inner bottom part of the foot. Not real good but I'm sure it will be ok. Last 5 miles were torturous I don't know if it was the TM or the distance but I was coming out of my skin, my mind was every where and I just wanted to quit but I managed to talk myself into keep going. My fluid intake was very poor this morning and I could tell. Gel and perpetum got to my stomach this morning, hasn't bothered me before. Not a great dinner last night probably didn't eat enough. Funny how yo can get away with these mistakes on shorter runs but the long ones tune you up fast. |
