Junk Food + Running = Queasy Stomach

Well, I didnt get done with my paper until 1:30 in the Morning last night...and I was exhausted :) I am pretty sure that the end of it is pure babble, but I sent it off to my professor anyway! She is travelling, and was kind enough to call me when she landed in NY and give me some of her thoughts. So I need to work on some of those corrections - most of them are flow and clarity related (not content) so thats good. I dont need to spend the time doing the research, which is consuming and never feels like you actually did anything as the hours and days tick by!

I was totally not in the mood to do my run today, so I stalled all day. I went to the grocery store & post office, did some reading for my exams, took a nap (last night was tiring!), talked with my professor on the phone, etc. Finally I made myself go and get it over with ;) Training Log
Time:  31.00 minutes  Distance:3.00 miles   Pace:  10:20min/mi
So, I was supposed to do a 40 minute run ... but ran into some difficulty. I was starving before I went to the gym and was munching rather mindlessly. About 10 minutes into my run I was sweating like a pig, a bit dizzy, and totally queasy. I was pretty sure I was going to barf. I think that if you are going to go for a run, eating a couple of handfulls of chocolate-covered raisins and some Sun Chips is probabally a bad idea. I decided to push it to 3 miles and then just give up. I am doing 8 miles tomorrow, so I think I can forgive myself just this once.
Progress Made
  • I bought some stamps so I can mail in some of the fundraising money I have collected!
  • Finished draft one of the paper, got some input on it - ready to work on draft two tomorrow & sunday
Lessons Learned
  • Sunchips + Chocolate Covered Raisins + Running = Puking
