Lotus Field

I ran 2.5 miles (6 laps) on Friday night. That was Sept. 23rd. I ran without music that day because my ipod battery was dead. It went okay until my right hamstring began hurting.

Tonight I ran 12 laps. Walked 2 for a warm up and cool down. This time I didn't stop at all. I did the whole 5.5 miles all at once, even though last time it was not much of a break (30 seconds at most).
The sky tonight was beautiful. So many shades of blue mixed with white clouds on one side and dark purple/pink clouds on the other.
The last 2 laps killed me. I could feel my dinner sitting right in my throat. I could have thrown up so easily. But, hey, gross and it would have really embarrassed Katie- so none of that thank you very much. I would have stopped, but I really wanted to reach that 5 mile mark again.
I listened to my praise music and that was nice. Unfortunately I still feel very bad. I have strong stomach pains. It feel this way when I accidentally get a dose of dairy.
O'well. Another night to tough it out.
Just as I was finishing my run- a thunderstorm rolled in. Lightening filled the sky. Katie's team practiced for another 20 minutes until practice was over.
It's still going on outside. Lightning, thunder and I'm lying in bed, trying to write this post without hurling. Soon I will hear the rain, but it hasn't started falling yet.
