Wow, what a disappointing run. I headed out at 3:00 - the weather was absolutely gorgeous - mid-70's, clear sky, a little breezy. I was all excited about getting in somewhere around 15 miles. After just a couple miles, however, reality set in. I realized my legs felt dead, I had forgotten to put on my bodyglide (can you say chafing?), and I was already feeling tired. I decided to do 10 miles instead. Turned around at the 5 mile mark, had to stop at a gas station at 6 miles and get a drink. At 8 miles, I realized I was in serious trouble with chafing, and was feeling a fair amount of pain. At the 8.5 mile mark, I decided to take a shortcut that would put me in at 9.5 miles. At the 9 mile mark, I decided to stop and walk the last 1/2 mile home because the chafing was so bad. So I totally wimped out, I felt like this was one of the worst runs I have had in a long time. Oh well, I am not going to dwell on it, but will press on. For our date tonight, Lybi and I are going to go to the worldwide broadcast. Not sure what to expect. |
