Notes
An agonising run in a very hot day. I suffered from depletion (not enough energy due to the fasting during the week), dehydration (due to sudden temperature of the weather / too hot), CS was present but mild, and this was a tough run from the very beginning. It was a very bad decision on my part to do this long run. 10 miles is a long way in a tough hilly course when during the week lost 5 lb and on the run at least another 4. I almost passed out at 7th mile point when I had to submit to body needs and stopped and walked for at least 2 miles back home. This was another tough experience for me and a scary one. I just found shelter under a big tree in the shade and could not move right down almost to my knees waiting to faint in seconds. But my body coped and it took me almost all day to recover from this. My neck became very stiff, I was overheated and when stopped I became really cold up on the hills as there was a breezy wind and I lost 4 lb of fluids / water. When back home I weighed myself and could not believe the loss of body fluids.
I started running again or rather jogging in a crawling motion down the hill and back home for last 1.5 mile. It was agony and once again I was more than delighted to reach home.
This was a very painful experience in my running. Even my music stopped at some point...the only thing that could have kept me going. Tomorrow is Communion Day and as for food I shall go back to normal again soon.
