Total Distance
6.60

Felt sluggish today.  I started of running 8:1?s in miles 2 and 3, planning on keeping that speed but after mile 3 I knew I wasn't going to be able keep that pace.  I kept waiting for it to get easier and it never did so I slowed down.  Mile 5 I started to not feel so good.  I needed to "take a seat" if you know what I mean.  I passed the pop at willow park choosing instead to finish the 1.5 miles until home.  Well it got worse after that and I took the shortcut home, walking at times.  Once home I confirmed my suspicions on why I was sluggish.  I unloaded a significant amount of material.

In hind sight, (no pun intended) I should have stopped. But with a mile and half left I wasn't completely uncomfortable and public pops are gross. I was willing to risk it.

Been there many of times. There is nothing about running that deters the imminent exit of lower body "material". Always chose the closest facilities.

That's what's good about this blog. There is always a wealth of information floating around here. I'll definitely take your advice next time Chad.
