One day I'm up and the next I'm down. Today I was definitely down! During my 10 mile run I experienced the beginnings of shin splints, a massive gas bubble in my gut and neck pain so intense I was running hunched over. But I guess that's what these training runs are meant to do-- work the bugs out. So today I will ice my lower legs and start doing some different weights in the gym. I will go back to using my smaller water bottle (with the really cool top) that minimizes the amount of air going into my stomach. And next week I won't start my run until I have fully stretched the muscles in my neck.
Some days I think I'm absolutely crazy for doing this.
