Sloggin Along

I headed out last night for a nice five km run and was struck down by terrible stomach cramps. Not the kind I needed to be worried about but the ones that signaled that I had headed out too soon after our big spaghetti dinner. I limped along for about one km and turned around to head home. But when I got near my house I felt so disheartened because I knew many of my running colleagues had headed out this morning and completed 29 km. So I kept going and battled out my five km doing a run/walk combo. I do find it hard that a 10 km run was a nice easy thing for me to accomplish and now I huff and puff through five km. But I guess I shouldn’t worry and simply chalk this up to running for two!
