Worst Run, Ever.
Apparently, when you want to run over 10 miles, as I did this morning, you need to make sure you’ve been eating properly. I had a pretty light food weekend, perhaps because I’ve had a little bug or something. So my calories had been pretty low. And this morning, when I got to the end of mile 8, I suddenly felt very, VERY bad. My entire body felt as if it weighed 1000 pounds and I became chilled and light-headed.
Then I barfed on my shoes. Twice.
I did manage to finish those final 2.11 miles (what choice did I have, I needed to get home after all) — though at a slow trot, and once home a boatload of water and a frozen banana with peanut butter (heaven!) brought me back to life. But I have no desire to run another 10 miler like that one. Today was a painful lesson about my body’s limitations and needs.
Today is traditionally my weekly weigh-in post, but I’ve decided that I’m not going to do formal weekly weigh-in posts any more, though I’ll continue to track each week on my Progress page. Instead I’ll just make a note at the end of every post about my current weight and whatnot. Something like this:
Weight: 139 even-steven.
Mood: Chipper, even though I need to steam clean my shoes.
Miscellaneous: I couldn’t help myself (see below).
OH, God! I am flying through the blogs with no time to comment on any of them…….and THEN I hit yours—-ha, ha, ha,……..made my day, you did!
LOVE THE PHOTO. You know, if you put your hair up and found some retard glasses, you could totally be Sexy Sarah for Halloween. Just saying.
The pic? Awesome. Best thing I have seen all day.
Not on your new shoes?! NO!! That sucks.
oh, your poor shoes!
OMG! I was just reading your blog and saw the pic of Sarah and thought—awww man! I guess noone is perfect….but then I really SAW the pic and I totally cracked up!! ROFLMAO! We totally need to meet in real life one of these days!
Make sure you are eating enough to fuel your runs, girl!
So sorry to hear about your shoes but I’m still impressed that you logged 10 miles. And I love the idea of a frozen banana w/pb. But at least you know more about how your body works.
Hope the stink comes out of your shoes!!
Oh yeah! Loved that photo. Laughed out loud when I saw it.
I must say I love the pic
