Well, today’s run was… unpleasant.
I had the middle distance run on the schedule, which this week increased to 10 miles. It was quite a bit chillier than the last two days, and still breezy, but not bad.
The first half of the run, I had side stitches everywhere and I just felt gassy, but I managed to maintain a decent pace in the 8:30/mile range.
The second half of the run, however, the side stitches and gas turned into stomach cramping and almost a touch of nausea at times. I kept having to slow to a walk to settle my stomach, and my pace fell off a cliff. The last five miles were all in the 10-minute range.
I finally finished the 10.1-mile loop in just over 1:35, a 9:25/mile overall average.

I did a search on your post for “Code Abby” and “poop” and got nothing, so I guess it could have been worse.

Haha! Somehow I didn’t feel like I needed to go until I was almost home, and at that point there was nowhere to hide anyway. I hate this time of year with all the barren fields — it gets dicey sometimes!

Pooping in a barren field sounds like a horrible nightmare.
