Mizuno Wave Inspire 6 |
Here is the short version:
- 12 mile run planned for Saturday morning
- woke up with a little congestion and a scratchy throat
- slept in then decided I would feel better if I ran
- laced up new shoes (excited)
- got outside a little late which meant it was a lot hotter than normal
- ran 6 miles felt like death
- feet were on fire
- after mile 7 --feeling dizzy and seeing spots--stopped in the shade to try to pull myself together
- out of water at mile 7
- no water in sight
- feet aching
- ran to two parks for water but both fountains were broke
- called my husband at 10.5 miles, but he didn't answer (wanted to cry)
- walked a mile and half home with my head down
- got home realized I had a fever
- laid down and did not get up the rest of the day
Needless to say it was a rough weekend for me. My husband was out of town the majority of last week and I was really happy to have him home but sad I spent the majority of the weekend in bed.
Here are my stats:
Time: 1:50 --actually longer since I stopped a couple of times and stopped the Garmin for the walk home
Distance: 10.58 --not counting the mile and a half that I walked home
Avg. Pace: 10:23
Calories: 1027
Splits:
Mile 1- 10:14
Mile 2- 10:07
Mile 3- 9:57
Mile 4- 10:09
Mile 5- 9:53
Mile 6- 9:49
Mile 7- 10:17
Mile 8- 10:13
Mile 9- 10:29
Mile 10- 10:57
My new shoes were long overdue but I probably should have "broken them in" before taking them on a long run. I have never broken in a pair of running shoes and I'm really not sure how to do that except maybe to take them on shorter runs first?
Last night after dinner I was able to get 800 meters of swimming done, it was nice to get out and do something. I'm still debating on taking tonight off running or going for a short run. I feel 95% better than I did this weekend.
What do you do if you feel a little under the weather? Do you go ahead with your fitness plans or do you rest at the first sign of sickness?
