Nature Calls...

usually within the first 30 seconds of every run. The urge often dies in the next 30 seconds. Not today. I had to go the entire time! My run seemed to last forever!!!! I felt as though I was channeling Jaime who, I recall, couldn't start a race without visiting the restroom minutes before reporting to the starting line. I always attributed her rendezvous to nerves. I attribute mine to the 12 ounce Walmart brand apple punch (it sure was tasty and I refuse to regret downing it seconds before running).

Perhaps I am actually improving or maybe it was the apple punch but I had a record time (for a veteran runner that is) of 24 minutes and 31 seconds. Yea!!

Number of Intervals: 3.03 miles around the neighborhood.
End Results: Refreshing
Aches and Pains: Bladder pains that began to spread to my side.
Breakthroughs: None
Age of Shoes: 6 months
