Okay....so today I did a super stupid thing. While cleaning the bathroom I put bleach in the toilet because it was REALLY nasty. Then I wasn't think about the consequences and later added toilet bowl cleaner to the bleach. It created intense fumes and I had to go outside. Thought I was going to throw up for a while but I didn't. I didn't feel well all afternoon but when it was time for cheer leading practice I knew I had to get out there and get a run in because I had a race coming up on Saturday. Did I mention I signed up for another 5k? Oh, I did. This time it is for my old grade school in my hometown. I am super stoked about it so I needed to get some practice in.
So, I laced on my running shoes and headed out. This run was really hard. I was having trouble with my breathing due to the toilet bowl incident. My stomach was still feeling upset and my nose was burning. I had to walk a lot through this run. I think it was because of the toilet bowl incident but it might also have something to do with the fact that I've been neglecting my running. This is not a good thing since I've got that upcoming 5k. I'm a little worried.
I will keep this one short and sweet since there's nothing really to share about it other than the fact that I was feeling pretty awful. Mental note: NEVER mix bleach and toilet bowl cleaner again. As I type I'm feeling nauseated just thinking about it! Anyway, here's the details: I ran 3.23 miles and it took me 35 minutes. My average pace was 10:44.
I'm not terribly pleased with this run for obvious reasons. I wasn't feeling good; I've got a race coming up and I like to have a better time. But all in all I'm glad I got out there despite feeling like poop.
Happy Running!
