Savor it!

Running Log :: started out ok

Well the run started out great but it quickly went down hill (no pun intended). I decided to head out on the Brantford trail. I had gotten the girls home and stayed for supper which became one of the many mistakes about this run. I had way to much lasagna and bread and was running immediatly after, not a good combination and already learned this lesson.  I turned my GPS off after 9.68 miles of a 12 mile run as I walked the rest of the way back to the car. The first 6 miles were awesome, all uphill and did that in 45:11 for an average pace of 7:30 minute miles. It was when I turned around it started to go wrong. I just couldn’t cool down, couldn’t get my breath and my legs felt like lead. The food was trying to come up and it felt like my days with a hiatus hernia. Groin was hurting, just everything. I would run another two miles ok and then the rest was walk run to the the point where I stopped the GPS. Mile 7 was reached by 53:06 for average pace of 7:35 min miles. Got to 8 miles in 1:00:28 which took me 7:22 for that mile. The next mile would take me almost 9 minutes and I turned it off shortly there after. I tried to run again a few times but the legs where just tightning up and then the thunderstorm started, walking back in a downpour. Go figure. Anyhow it all went wrong and I just figured there are so many weeks left, not worth getting hurt. So the entire run portion of my run walk 12 miles took 1:19:58  for 9.68 miles giving me an average pace of 8:15 min miles.
