Sucks to be (yesterday)......................................

Normally it is no big deal, but this month I am having the period from Hell! Yesterday was suppose to be a five mile track workout, in other words a speed work out. No way was that going to happen.

As it was, every step I took caused a knife like pain to cut across my lower abdomen while at the same time it felt as if my entire insides were going to fall out. I was thrilled that I was able to complete the five mile distance even if my movements were more along the lines of a tortoise than Speed Racer. Maybe speed will happen next week.

When I finished the five miles, I walked the rest of the way home munching on a sports bar (that I got in one of the goody bags from a recent race) for dinner, cleaned up, and went to bed with a heating pad on my belly. Thank goodness I have the world's greatest, most supportive husband that was willing to do all the OP care so I could go to bed early. I would not be able to keep up the increase training pace without his assistance.

I am feeling better today, and have another five miles scheduled for later this afternoon. Hopefully it will be a bit more enjoyable than the last five miles was. A girl can hope!
