Notes
First mile easy easy with the pup (seriously amazed that an Australian Shepherd isn't faster!). Bloody nose at mile 2ish. Stopped for a minute and used my shirt as a kleenex. When it wasn't stopping, I decided to rip apart my shirt, stuff part up my nose and hold a part for later. That worked to keep me moving. But I kept it pretty easy for a bit. Around mile 3 there was a random guy running behind me at about my pace. It was creepy. He was there for probably 2 miles. I almost turned around and introduced myself just so it would be less awkward. Then a bug flew in my mouth and was concentrating on spitting it out. Then the guy was gone. And my nose was better.
Feeling a little bloated/fat-ish lately. Wondering if that is slowing me down because all my runs have been soooo much slower than I think they should be. Also, I did fast yesterday until 7:30pm. But then I ate a good meal of quinoa, avocado, squash, corn, a side of sweet potato chips, and a dessert of fresh strawberries. So I was all sorts of full...shoulda been ready for the run this morning! Ugh. REady to be faster. #runnerproblems (hashtags don't work in here, but you get the point)
