I did not feel good today, worse than Tuesday in fact. However, unlike Tuesday I did not want to cut my run short as I felt fine while running on Tuesday and later wished that I would have run farther. Instead of running less I decided to just run really really slow so that I would not stress myself too much. I ended up not wearing a watch on the run so I have no idea how slow I was going, but I would guess that I was averaging anywhere from 8:20-8:40 pace for most of the run (probably even slower at the end). I ran a total of 10.5 miles, running 9 miles after school, and then running the final mile and a half home wearing my backpack. I have to say that as a whole the run was miserable. I felt decent for the first 5 miles or so, but by the time I hit 6.5 miles I was not feeling very good, and by 7.5 I just wanted to be done. When I picked up my backpack after 9 miles I felt so cruddy that I just stood around blowing my nose for a few minutes trying to gather the motivation to run home while lamenting the fact that the bus was not coming any time soon. I finally did run home, and shortly after arriving Shayon started to throw up. Yay, more vomit, just what I have been wishing for. I went to bed earlier than normal (around 9:30pm) leaving Kimia to watch the kids and put them to bed because my whole body ached while my stomach feels like it is all tied up in knots. On the plus side I do not have a fever, so at least I have that going for me. |
