Quick, Easy Run

I did the scheduled 3 miles tonight. i was not comfortable. i had taken 2 immodiums yesterday and 1 this morning for some g.i. problems. we ate an early supper tonight, around 6, and then came back to the hotel. i felt extremely bloated. i think maybe the immodium is keeping things from moving through at all instead of just slowing stuff down. i guess that is better when you are at the beach instead of what was going on. so i took my first nap of the week to let the food settle and get a little needed rest before the run. it didn't really help, i woke up bloated and had that "woke up to early now i'm irritated" feel you get sometimes after a nap. so i fiddled around the room a little and got ready. i wanted to run outside, but when i got up it was dark so i went and ran on the treadmill, the hill workout again. i started a little faster than normal on the treadmill and finished the first 1.1 miles in 11 minutes then slowed down until .6 miles to go and sped up again. my right foot hurt a little and my shins hurt a little afterwards but i feel pretty good now. my overall time was 31:31, a 10:30 pace, about average for me. i think i will get a little faster when i get back on the real road, not that speed is a huge goal right not.

thought of the day: "We run for our head, we run for our health, and we run for our vanity. We run to push our limits and to challenge who we are. We become both mentally and physically stronger with each mile and with each new goal attained." Tom Holland
