day 19: sometimes bodies are gross

warning: in the first paragraph i am going to say something a little bit gross. if you get grossed out by things like blood etc., please skip it.

so, today i went for a long run. it was really hot. probably somewhere around 90. i waited until 6, but it hadn't cooled down much. so, i ran 2.7 miles, took a short break, drank some water, ran another 3.1. and don't worry, i was so dehydrated that i had really bad side cramps and definitely threw up a little in my nose. it was classy. i haven't done that in about a year, but it always happens when i'm on an intense run and not adequately prepared/hydrated etc.

gross part's over.

i didn't hit my goal of 6.9mph, but whatever. it was hot, i was tired and dehydrated...i'm not going to let myself feel bad about it. i will get there, i will hit my goal. i just need to be a little patient and let my body adjust to the heat. right? right.

after my run, i went grocery shopping (okay, about an hour later after i felt like i could move again) and bought a little bottle of chocolate milk along with the week's supplies. i read a long time ago that chocolate milk is a great thing to drink after running because of the protein and the carbs. i was so exhausted by this time (and a little dizzy) that i went for it. plus, i love chocolate milk and hardly ever let myself drink it. (sometimes i'm five years old.)

the commuter challenge starts tomorrow. i have to get up in about six hours...but i'm too wired to go to bed. so i'm blogging. wish me luck! 12.6 miles each way, five days this week. and i'm going to keep training for that 10k, so basically i'm going to need to eat constantly, which i'm not exactly excited about. that's new, i usually love eating. but lately my appetite hasn't been that intense. which is great.

also, this weekend a few people told me that they're reading my blog and i got SO EXCITED! if you are, please comment, please follow etc. it helps to know you're out there, cruel world. keeps me on my game.
