I went out running tonight, very cold again (in California that means roughly 60 degrees F, heh) and it felt great and *I* felt great. My legs feel super strong, the only thing stopping me at this point is my lungs, but I'll work on them.
Anyway, ran a really fast .8 miles, and a really great next .8 miles, but at the 2 mile mark those stupid runs hit me again. Especially enfuriating because I only had crackers for lunch. Missing a gallbladder is starting to really suck.
At least races are early in the morning and you don't have to eat first to run well. So I need to make sure to not eat after dinner the night before a race.
So the runs hit me, really bad and I had to stop and squeeze the butt cheeks together for a few minutes (I'm going to have really strong ass muscles soon, haha!) and had to walk for probably .2 miles. Then I took off running the rest of the way.
Overall, the running part was REALLY great and fast, but it was disappointing that I couldn't finish well, I was running so fast!!! Total time: 27 minutes.
Tuesday is my off day. Can't wait for Wednesday.
