Ran the big block twice today. We started at 7:00 to get some practice in the heat- it is too hot - I feel for all you that run in it every day! First time went really well. I felt strong up the hill and then kicked it in on the flat and down hill stretch. Stopped for water and then headed again. I could tell right off that it was going to be much harder. Went to head up the hill and about half way up I started with the double vision thing again. I stopped for a minute and it went away. With about 1.5 miles to go I got a really weird cramp in my back, up in my ribs. It stayed until the I was almost done. I cannot believe how much harder this was then a few months ago, but I have to keep reminding my self that the more I do the easier it will become. Now I get to go to my son's baseball game and then two softball games - pretty much my day will be spent at the ball park. Ave Pace 9:06 Happy Running! |
