Not a fun run at all. Less than a mile into the run, i got something in my left eye. I stopped couple times to try to get it out, but no luck. For a while I ran with that eye closed. Then I realized that if looked down, it didn't bother me much...so I ran for a while with my head down so I could look down. Of course, running with my head down led to a runny nose, which was annoying. With all of that crap going on, I didn't pay close enough attention to my pace and breathing, so I ended up with a stomach cramp about a mile and half in.
But after I hit the half way point, my eye was feeling a little better so I could look straight. The cramp was still there, but changing my pace, gait and breathing helped...and a couple real deep breaths to sort of target the cramp usually work well for me too.
So, certainly not the best time I've ever had running, but I'm glad I decided to keep going.
Okay, that made me lol. I was just picturing you running with one eye closed. Sorry, I needed that laugh today though. Anyway, yeah, I've been there, it's not fun. I once swalled a really big bug. I almost puked. I have no idea what it was, nor did i care, but I felt it go down and that sucked!!!
ReplyDeleteNo, it was pretty funny. I know I must have looked like an idiot to those running by me, but I'm ok with that :)
