Today was extremely difficult. I ran during the hottest part of the day again, and this time, because of a distraction, I forgot to eat my protein cookie first. I got half way through the run and I was feeling a bit better about finishing. By the time I was 2/3rds done, it seemed impossible.
My head was beginning to hurt, my heart was pounding and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I felt the sun burning my skin and I couldn’t block out the pain. I was out of energy and still had at least a half mile to go. I start doing a more frequent combination of walking and running until finally I gave up. I walked back home with my head down.
It’s a lesson I’ve already learned. I went running weeks ago without eating enough and had the same thing happened. Today, I felt ready to go. I ate a snack at work, but it wasn’t enough. When I got back home, my face was completely red and sunburned. I was so disappointed. But I’ve got to look on the bright side. I didn’t injure myself, and it’s just a reminder about how important it is to prepare for a run.
