AM - Dave and Logan came over at 5am to run the Bloomington Park 15k tempo with me this morning. We did a little over a mile warm up from the house around the turf farm to Telegraph. I probably started off the tempo a little too fast. 5:33 the first mile, I was pretty excited about the tempo but soon discovered I really wasn't warmed up. By about Maverick (mile 4.5) I had slowed significantly and my stomach was just turning like crazy. Logan was helping me pace and Dave had dropped me by about 150M. It was good having Logan's sweet voice in my ear telling me everything was going to be OK;-) About 1 mile before crossing River Rd my stomach started to settle and was able to get back into a good rhythm, but by the time I hit the Doctor's Free Clinic I thought the lower end of my stomach was going to "open the hatch" (if you know what I mean). So, I stopped at the porta potty there and felt much better after. Finished up the tempo fairly strong with a 5:50 ave. for the whole run. I'll have to post my splits later. |
