Eh..

Really I wanted to title this Worst Run Ever but I felt that may be a bit negative. I'm in southern IL and there are some severe storms moving through so I took the run indoors. I was scheduled to run 6 mile tempo run with 4 miles at 8:30. Yeah, not so much. I got through 4.5 miles with 3 at an 8:30 pace and that was a struggle. Not that I was out of breath but rather my limbs just didn't want to move or work in any sort of cohesive manner. The room was extremely warm as well and I'm not sure that helped. I probably could have made it to five if severe stomach cramping hadn't started. From what? Who knows...At least I was able to get a 10 minute cool down done on the bike. It's something I guess. Next struggle finding something healthy to eat. Not too much to choose from in these parts. There is a Mexican restaurant, Steak and Shake, or Ruby Tuesdays. I'm going to search some more. Maybe I can find some wonderful local restaurant :)

Wow. You have a lot going on. Don't worry about your run - we all have bad runs. things will settle down soon so just hang in there and remember to take some time for your self. Hope you found something good to eat.

It probably was the gym temp. One of the gyms I run at keeps their temps so high. I can definitely tell it puts a cramp on my running

Hope you were able to find something healthy to eat. Ruby Tuesday usually has a decent salad bar if there's nothing else around.

Sorry about the stinky run. Next one's bound to be better right?
