Another beautiful morning- perfect for a run. I had troubles with a nasty stitch in my belly and I had to stop frequently to stretch it out. I had to stop at .5, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Then the last 3+ miles I ran without any problems at all. Very strange. I was even able to increase my pace the last couple of miles.
Went out again for an evening run with Wyatt to discuss events of the day. I had to stop again at mile .7 to stretch out the same stupid stitch in my belly. What the heck? It didn't bother me much again at all during our run, but at mile 2.5 I needed a walk break. The temps weren't too high, but the sun felt hot and I'll admit my legs were tired.
It has been a very long time since I've run with tired legs. I forgot for a while what it was all about. Once I realized what was causing me to feel that exhausted feeling, I was able to just ignore it and push on. Slowly.
So I got 7.31 in the morning and 4.53 in the evening. I managed to mop the floors inbetween and made some home made bread. Like a domestic boss.
