9.5 easy + standard core routine.
It is my late day today and so I went up to campus and started a planned 10 mile run. Of course it felt weird but I was fine until about mile 8 when ?I felt stomach distress...it became so bad that I was going to either stop and walk or $hit myself right there. I had to do some walking then joggin then walking until I found a port-o-john which was beyond disgusting with the humidity and heat. It's strange how quickly your body's systems de-adjust once you stop running for a week.
My form feels off. There's no telling how long my right hip has been out of alignment--if that was even a problem---all I know is that the stress on my right calf is a lot less and my right side is now stronger. However, it's also changed how my left leg operates. Before my left leg had a bigger calf and the angle was different, more to the side. Now it's more forward so this may be a good thing but I can't relax until all of my parts settle into this new form. Hard to say how fast I'm even going. I may dust off the old GPS to make sure I'm going slow enough on my runs. I think this new form will take some time, but I'm running my half as a training run on 9/14 because I couldn't sell my bib...I just hope this sluggish feeling goes away and nothing else goes wrong. After that race I am not signing up for any more until I feel my "mojo" has returned.
