Slept in until about noon. Ate a large portion of white rice and cream corn at 230pm. Mowed front and back lawn at 800pm. Had a few sips of aqua and quickly stretched quads, calves and held a lame toe touch for a few seconds. Started run at 8:57pm. Goal was the park. Clear sky. Sun setting. Minimal breeze. 81 Fahrenheit. 70% humidity. Crossed Scatterfield with ease. No waiting. Trail was dark. Saw a couple walking on the trail towards me. may have seen someone fishing. Started worrying about attack from the trees, like an Indian ambush.Before Imel trail felt stomach cramping. Wasn't fatigued at all. Breathing still close to normal. Tried jogging, tried walking. Jogged a bit. Reached park. Looked for water fountain. Found a spout; pump turned off. No Aqua. Started off on a slow gate. Cramp subsided with controlled breathing. Started getting dark. Got afraid. Detoured to Imel trail. It was a bitch. Uphill for quite some distance. Reached tenth street. Started walking at auto parts store. Took the light across Scatterfield. Cut across to tattoo parlor. walked home after crossing Hillcrest for cool down. Reached home at 9:29pm.
Last run was last saturday morning between the races. Since then, haven't been eating much. not the healthiest either. Had a cig sunday morning on lunch break. First one since the Fourth.
Still haven't managed an all out run to the park. Last time was 28 minutes with significant stretch break at the park. Fastest run to 3rd St: under 12 minutes. Probably 11 min and 20 sec.
Writing like Rorschach: Fun Times.
In the middle of ESPN World Cup guide. Started reading opening parts of USSF coaching handbook. hoping to read more book recommended by Zonal Marking.
