Finally got out for an actual run even though it sucked. I felt poopy from the beginning but didn't want to turn in early like yesterday and be mad about it later. I tried to go harder than easy and I couldn't really make my body go any faster. I was not feeling any pains but I just felt sore in my legs, and I could defnitely notice my chest cold, runny/stuffy nose, and some nasty crosswinds the way home. I also wanted to try a little experiment and didn't eat but a handful before the run and after a 7:15 6th mile I went to a 7:50 7th mile and about the same for the 8th. I think I "hit the wall" on my run, or at least ran out of carbs to burn. It was definitely a weird experience and not exactly pleasant along with the dibilitating dehydration cramps I had going in my sides. I guess I'll prepare a bit better next time. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
Oh ya, another fun fact, I was 148/9 before I ran and before I hopped in the shower I was 145. 146 after I chugged my Propel, and now I'm eating a breakfast of a smoothie and beef jerkey. I'm really thinking I wasn't getting that much sodium and maybe that will help.<br><br>
Have a great Friday. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">
