I slept in until 10:30 this morning so I didn't start running until 11.  It was warm by then, but I felt quite rested.  I pushed my daughter to my usual 4.5 run.  Not much variety when I run, I need to take the Garmin out and find me another few loops for the mileage I want so I can switch things up a bit. 

Happy to be running.

Once again, same route.  It absolutely killed me, again!!!!  INSANE headwind the entire first half.   Enough so, that I almost turned around early.  Once I hit the half way point and I turned around I got an INSANE side ache and had to walk for a few blocks (or 5).  It hurt to breathe and it was more in my gut than in my side.  I assume that it is still a "side" ache.  I only remember one other time that I had a side ache so bad that I had to walk.  Crazy.  I am starting to think I am not ready for the half.  I will probably do it anyway, I suppose I am just frustrated today. 

My leg hurt a little bit at the beginning but went away quickly. 

Happy to be running!!!

I actually got up early to run.  I have meant to the last 4 saturdays or so and haven't, so I am glad I got up.  I went to the LaVerkin stake center and back, my usual 4.5 or 5 run.  About 2 miles into it I had a crazy side ache again and had to walk again.  This time I limited my walking to 1 block instead of the 5 or so I walked last time.  It was fine after that.  I don't understand it.  When it happened on Thursday I just thought I had drank to much water or something, but I didn't drink anything before I went this time. 

I suppose all I can do is see what happens next time.  The leg felt ok, a bit awkward at first but no pain. 

Glad to be running!
