Very Painful 13km
November 11, 2009Yesterday I had my Hump Day Wednesday 13km run over rolling hills which i normally look forward to, but not yesterday…..not by a long shot.
The first 7km I felt pretty okay, my heart rate was about 5bpm higher than expected, but It was still comfortable enough, but then at the 8km struck, so did the stomach cramps, with ferocity!
Every stride felt like I was going backwards and my heart rate was starting to raise to slightly alarming preportions. I almost stopped at one stage, however somehow I forced myself through it, mainly because I was running to my precious toilet bowl as the cramps get worse and worse.
Needless to say when I arrived home I “relieved” my stomach cramps, however it appears as if i have a stomach bug of some description as I’m still not quite right today, so I might give todays session a miss and get back on the horse tomorrow.
