Have you ever noticed?
Have you ever noticed that when you are having a bad run, the worst feeling usually sets in at the furthest point from home? This is what happened to me this morning. I don't know what I was thinking trying to get up and run in the morning after how sick I was last night. Since I was having sharp, shooting stomach cramps I could not really eat anything. The little bit I managed to get down did not stay in my body for long, so when I ran this morning I was running off my lunch from yesterday. I honestly do not know how anyone can starve themselves and continue to run well. I had absolutely no energy.
Usually after a workout I do struggle when I try to run the next day in the morning. Today was much worse than I have ever felt. Of course I do know the reason, as I stated above. Even if I had been timing this run, I would have turned off my watch because I could not do anything. If I wanted to feel good, I would have gone in the afternoon after I got some food into my system.
It was much hotter and more humid than I thought it was this morning. The past two days have been very nice, though I still had to run wearing long sports bras since the mid-Atlantic is notoriously hot and sticky in August.
Tomorrow is my first day of work again. I do not know how long I will be able to stay with this job this year. The situation with my employer is not good to put it mildly. I'll be back to a normal schedule starting tomorrow.
On a final note, my elbow is really sore. I ran into a no parking sign last night. I am a klutz. I was talking to someone and we were running two accross on the sidewalk and I smacked my elbow into the sign. Now I have a scratch and a big lump on my poor bony elbow.
