Rough one is an understatement! HOT & HUMID! Not sure if it was coming off the 5K last night, not being hydrated enough, nervous/stressed stomach, heat, humidity or all of the above. All I know is that it was rough. I went into this run with the mindset that I would walk some of it. I just walked more than I had planned.

I was able to run the 1st mile without stopping in pretty good time, but then I needed to walk for 60 seconds (a long 60 seconds) started running again and had to stop again in the 2nd mile. Still finished under 13 minutes. 

the 3rd mile I think I walked more than I ran...No way could I have pushed it any more. The only thing that kept me o.k. with all of this is that many people were struggling tonight. 

It was discouraging, but set-backs will happen and I am not even sure if I could have done it if I didn't run last night so at least I had one non-stop 5K this week. 

I met Kay and other runners from T & T runs running group. They were great and so encouraging. I only wish I would have felt like staying to enjoy the after party. It took me a long time to feel better tonight..NOTHING sounded good to eat or drink afterwards. J. D. met me there and I wasn't very good company...I owe him one. On my way home Joe suggested ice cream...so I had a chocolate mint Klondike when I got home and that finally settled my stomach. Followed by some mashed potatoes and I was finally able to drink some more water. 

I hope this weekend is better...we will see on Sunday. I am going to take a day or two off before my long run. I went 5+ miles Sunday, 1.85 on Tuesday, 3.1 Wednesday and 3.1 Thursday. 

I need t think about my next event. Don't get discourage...keep moving forward!
