Today I must run 10 miles. We are going to my in-laws house down in Sawyer again for dinner and for help with the kids. My husband and I both had commitments we didn’t want to compromise on, he is trying to complete his last Master’s degree and had homework and I must not cancel my long runs, so we’re asking for help with the kids.
I felt very guilty just showing up and just leaving my kids with my in-laws while I went for a run, so I waited until after lunch and after we got Jenna down for her afternoon nap. Big mistake. I didn’t begin my run until almost 2pm and it was a hot, sunny, and very humid day.
I had to stop multiple times and wished I had placed my water bottles along the route a little closer together than every 2 miles. At one point I even started carrying a water bottle in my hand, the sloshing got really annoying. I wonder how well those fuel belt things work. And I got SO BORED with my iPod. I am questioning how I am going to mentally and physically get to 26.2 miles if I’m bored and unmotivated at 10 miles!
Anyway, I finished my run and crashed on the living room floor drenched in sweat. What was most disconcerting was this really bizarre dull pain that had started in my lower back and seemed to be traveling to my kidney’s . Oh great, my kidney’s are probably starting to shut down. It took a good half hour and plenty of fluids to begin to feel better. I have got to start these runs earlier in the day.
