This was a weird run. I almost turned around as I went up the hill away from my house. My chest was heaving and I felt pain everywhere. I actually did turn around and pictured myself comfortable lying next to my wife. Then I turned back up the hill and said to myself... just try. By a half mile in I was feeling a little better and by 2 miles in I thought I might make it. So 21 miles later I was saying wow and you almost didn't even start. Amazing. My foot hurt. My right calf, inside ankle, and shin had some sharp pain. I had pain in my left hip, glut and then at the end of the run felt it sort of numb. Toes were scrunched into the front of these Brooks. Maybe I won't race in them. I was really hot at the end but not dehydrated and didn't feel an energy drain. |
