Local trail run. I had a lot of chest pain at the first of the run. I think it was GI in origin (I had heartburn last night). It really made the first mile super slow I felt like I couldn't even stand up straight. I loosened up after a mile or so. I still didn't feel great for the whole run. AP: 10:11.

You seem to be having a rough go of it this week! Hopefully this funk will break soon.

No kidding this whole week has been terrible. Maybe the lack of sleep is catching up to me. Next week doesn't look promising, I'm on Nights.
