Tough run today. My legs were still tired from all the running I did this week, and I also had GI troubles. After mile 4, I made a detour inside the park and checked 2 different restrooms, and both were locked! Arrgghh!! How can they not keep at least one opened when it is still daylight, the weather is nice, and there are literally hundreds of people in the park?
Anyway, nothing else to do, but continue on. I am known for having run more than one marathon needing a bathroom the entire time (not that I enjoy it!). Then, at about 8 miles, I got really hungry, so I just couldn't wait to get home. I planned to do 13 mi. originally, but decided to cut it a bit short seeing how crappy I was feeling. Pace was slow, but I didn't care, and I think overall I got decent time on my feet. When I finally got home and took my shoes off, I was surprised to see one of my socks covered in blood - apparently, I managed to get a blister that burst. I did feel something in that foot, but with all the other uncomfortable things going on, didn't pay much attention. But these things always look worse than they really are. So, it was just one of those adventuruos runs, and not in a good sense.
Total time: 1:46:27 (9:04 pace). |
