Notes
Really disappointing run today. I started out and decided to go for the full 6 even though I had originally planned to cut back. The couple of days of rest from not running with the blister must have really paid off, because I felt great, very strong. My legs felt great, my form and my breathing were good, and I was cruising right along through 4. Then on the downhill past the cemetery I had some gas pains in my chest and a few strides later at the 4.35 mile mark, it felt like my heart kind of lurched forward or skipped a beat or something. I don't think it was really anything; I didn't feel out of breath or really worried I was going to have a heart attack and collapse, but it definitely spooked me. I stood there a minute with my hands on my knees to let my heart rate slow down and finally just decided to slowly jog home. Better safe than sorry, but I was having a great run and I hated to stop like that. I think I was around 34:17 at 4.35 miles and that seems to match up with my 4 mile split pace. I was just starting to hit my second wind and go into a higher gear; it's possible that I could have had a nice PR today. I felt fine running home, and it was still a good run, but kind of a bummer there at the end.
