Monday October 18, 2010

Workout: 6.83 miles
Time: 1:05:27
Pace: 9:30
Weight: 126.6


Slept in on Monday morning because I was exhausted from the weekend.  Dave came home early enough so i could go out running before it got too dark.  I was extra crabby because I was so tired and not feeling great.  So I just ran.  No route in mind.  No mileage in mind, but hoped to do at least 5 miles.


I ran the Abbott horseshoe, then the Glen horseshoe, down Heather to Will-Cook, to 143rd, to Wolf, to 151st to the Kingston Hills running path, to martingale, to pheasant, to prairie to Mallard to home.  It was a great run.  Running down 143rd & wolf rds was surprisingly pleasant going in that direction - i've run them in the opposite direction and they were annoying.


It was a really nice run.  I felt good the whole time and if it hadn't been dark already I would have added some more distance at the end.


I've been doing a good amount of running since the race even though I haven't been recording it here.  I've run home from Ryann's soccer game a couple of times, I've run on the treadmill at a high incline or at a high pace, I've run at Old Plank Trail, Dave and I ran for an hour in South Haven last weekend.  All in all I feel like I'm keeping things up.  I am so thrilled with how great of shape I'm in.  Hills aren't as tough as they used to be, running isn't as hard as it once was.  Its not easy by any stretch, but it isn't torture anymore.  I love it.


Unfortunately after last night's run I have felt so crappy.  Last night I felt sick to my stomach and have felt like that all day today, too.  Not sure that it should be attributed to the running or if I had something before that... i've had a headache since Saturday morning (if not before then).  I was thinking that it was due to dehydration, but now maybe not so much.  I don't know, just not feeling well - nauseous, headache, feel like I'm going to throw up.


Skipped my workout this morning because of how bad I felt last night.  Will need to consider tomorrow's workout later tonight.
