Notes
Easy Run [7:40 pace p mi adj for heat]
81 deg / 69% H / 70 dew pt. CLT Runners Tue nite run - Booty Loop. Got there very late (16 min after group departed so no oppty to run up to the back of the group). Miserable conditions with 70 degree dew pt. First run where I have run consecutive days. Did dead lifts last nite so sore. When I started felt only a "dull ache" (not the really sharp pain) in left leg which I guess is a good sign, although leg felt a little unstable at times, and felt this for the first mile. Felt like I was running 8:45 pace (felt like mile 6 fr last nite where I felt horrific), so then I just settled in to this perceived 8:45 pace, focusing on keeping stride short/quick up the hills, and steady on the flats. Got a little past 4 miles and started to feel sick to my stomach (which is the oppressive conditions) and stopped to hopefully avoid an ugly incident. Regrouped and then continued, added extra mileage to this, but when hit 5 miles I started to feel the spot where I almost had to have hernia surgery several years back, to where I was afraid it was going to pop (I had my forefinger on it). Continued on and fortunately this did not bother me again but again -- mile 5 felt like 8:45 pace and the final 0.45 mile felt worse (9 min pace).
