This run went much better than yesterdays. I did have a slight discomfort in my left calf, so I will watch that tonight. I also got a good colon/anus/sphincter/what-ever-you-want-to-call-it workout for about 7 minutes. Before I left for the run I told my wife that my stomach didn't feel right. But what can you do? I couldn't wait around forever, because my wife also needs to get her run in.
As I could feel that my bowels were about to lose the battle I decided that I would turn right and go 3 blocks to Cal Ranch. I got to where I was going to turn, but I just kept running straight. I thought to myself "hmmmm, I was going to turn there". Then I remembered that Article Circle was only 1 block away. As I neared Article Circles parking lot I became aware of why I hadn't turned right. There was no way in H-E-double-hockey-sticks that I would have made it to Cal Ranch, and I think subconsciously I knew that. I opened the door to Article Circle and hoped like crazy that the bathroom would be empty. Luckily it was.
I made it, and all is well.
Total time was 1:25:00, avg pace including warmup/cool down was 7:32.
