After Issues

Yesterday I had, shall say we say, some stomach issues, which persisted halfway through today. All day, though, I planned on running, and shuffled my conference calls so I had a window of opportunity this afternoon. At a couple of points I thought about not running, but decided to go for it with the caveat that I might turn around if things felt dicey.

It was warm, about 80 degrees, and very humid. Quickly I decided to cap the run at 4 miles, which I think was a good decision. I walked a short distance in the third mile, and then up the big hill. I felt sweaty but never clammy, which was good. My plan is to run 11 on Saturday in prep for the half marathon, for which I'm now registered. When I considered not running today I felt it might give me fresh legs for the long run, but I wanted to get out and sweat a little.
