skyandheart wow. seriously. wow.
Did it. Though I think maybe I’m not warming up enough because I’m getting some killer lower abdomen pain. Feels like bad period pain. Kind of frustrating that even when my lungs are ready for the next bout of running, my gut keeps me walking.
My next run is Wednesday. I’m going to make sure I a) drink a lot of water about half an hour before (apparently this kind of pain can be caused by dehydration. I was scared of getting a stitch, but ended up getting something worse. Doh)
b) Walk for 5 solid minutes before I start running. At the moment the weather is really cold, I think that the shock of cold air into the lungs might be aggravating the problem.
c) Stretch well before setting out.
Hopefully next time will be relatively pain free…
