Today was a 3 mile steady state run and the pace our group was supposed to be between 5:20-6:00. Starting feeling that side-ache from yesterday again on the .5 warm up to where we were starting the run, panicked a little bit because I knew I worked hard to hydrate yesterday. Decided to just do the run and focus on my breathing by slowing it down and taking nice slow easy breathes. Felt good the first mile(5:40) but could tell I if stopped controlling my breathing the side-ache would come back. Then a little after crossing mile 1 my core started to give out, I didn't realise it but I was tensing the entire time . Eventually my core just completly fell apart and I got the incredible urge to throw up, couldn't hold back anymore and ran off to the side of the road and threw up. From then on it was over, felt delirous, my head pounded, and there was no way I could keep running. Didn't even get to two miles today, I don't know what was up but something was really out of balance. Not sure if it was salt, dehydration, electrolytes, or even lack of sleep but I have the weekend to get myself back into it. Went bridge jumping with Michael and Austin so shoutout to them for that then finished up mileage 1.9 to 6 barefoot in the grass at North Lake.
