Training: Day 1

Well my 1st day of training didn't go as planned...I had 4 miles on my training calendar and let me tell ya that during my run, I had a case of the runs. I had a shamrock shake last night and I think that caused a bit of indigestion....

I had a 1/2 banana and full glass of water when I woke up, my standard meal before a typical morning workout. Then I went potty and thought I was cleared out. I began running and was enjoying the peaceful morning with the hot air balloons overhead and no one else on the sidewalks. And then the Shamrock (SH)it hit, about 1 mile in, luckily still in my neighborhood, I had to walk to calm the bowels down. Well I walked for a bit and then thought I should probably jog home. And I did. And I went to the bathroom again. I felt better so I decided to go finish the last 2.5 miles of my run. Well about another mile into the run the same feeling....so again I headed home and that's when I decided my 1st day of training would be 3 miles instead of 4 miles. I am happy that I got out there for 3miles. (SH)it literally happens...oh well. Tomorrow will be better. 8 miles.

I haven't ran 8 miles in a LONG time, but I can do it...
