Man. I was all excited about my run today. I had planned to take my daughter in our jogging stroller. It was going to be a tougher route because I wanted to end at a park near us, which would require going up a hill I hate doing with the jogging stroller twice.
I got about a mile in to the run (up that hill once: check) when my stomach started to act up. Finished the first loop and headed back up the hill for the second time, stomach sending warning signs the whole time. Remembered there is not a restroom at the park. Turned around and headed home .
To boot, when I passed my house I was at about 2.25 miles and thought it would be unwise to prolong the GI discomfort any more, so I cut the run short and headed in. So, no park, incomplete run. Yuck. At least my daughter isn't old enough to understand that we were going to the park, so she wasn't disappointed when I turned back. Pool opens today. I'll get some cross training in there, assuming the weather cooperates.
@DopeyBadger - thoughts on whether I should use my rest day tomorrow to either try again for the full run or do a couple of mile or something? Or just stick to the plan?
Stats: 2.22 miles, 29:45 (13:24/mi)
