Well this is prob my funniest post yet.
Today was a long day, I did not sleep much last night thinking about moving to our new house today. I woke up and started packing and boxing everything up. Help arrived at 11 to help us move it took a little less than an hour for us to load everything onto a trailer. We unloaded for about 35 min or so. It was so nice to have gottten everything in and received help. My step father in law helped me go to west valley to pick up couches and then bring them to our new house. After we brought those home I went and got a double cheeseburger with bacon.
I thought well since I ate I will wait 30 min or so then go do mile reps. We just moved so it was my first time going to run on the track at Clearfield high. I was not too worried about track being open as bountiful and Davis were open almost all the time. I got there and the gates were all locked, so I had to jump the fence.
The Goal was to do 4 Mile reps at 4:40 pace with 3 min rest in between each. I knew going into it that after just eating, there was a slim chance I was actually going to hit the correct time.
Well I was wrong and that was a bad decsion. I started to run and felt fine. As I got closer to the track my stomach started to bother me a little bit. I did my first mile and it hurt a ton and my time was a slow 4:49. I was shooting for a 4:40 and was way off! I hit my split for a lap and half then slowed and never made back up the time. After the first rep, I started to look for the bathroom I found one but it was locked!!! I was thinking oh no this is not good. I decided to do my second rep as my 3 min was about up. Same thing first lap and some was on then I faded a ton and stomach did not feel good at all. After this rep I needed to go really bad. I saw a trash can and decided I do not have a choice, I lifted my self up and went in the big can. As the 3 min came to an end I went and ran the 3rd and 4th reps slowing on each of those as well. First part of the 3rd I felt great after the bathroom but then it started to bother me again.
1st rep 4:49, 2nd rep was 4:52, 3rd was 4:55, 4th was 4:56
My times were slow and that was frustrating but I gave it all I could with having moved all day, and having just ate shortly before the run. The one plus was that I was not breathing super hard and my legs were not completely sore or dead after. So I know that if I had people to run with and did not eat I prob would have been around 4:45 or 4:50 for most of them.
Total mileage was 7.5
