August 24, 2010 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 85

Spergel and I went out for 25 minutes along a road with rolling hills and then turned around to tempo the way back. I was very comfortable on the way out (nice pace, beautiful scenery, legs felt good) but I got a side cramp on the way back and had a hard time pushing through. Especially in the last 10 minutes of the run, Spergel started pulling away from me and I felt helpless...I couldn't breathe enough to go faster and catch up. It was really frustrating because she looked so strong and I thought I was that tough too but it just wasn't my morning...I wish I had the will power to push through even during runs like that one. Instead, I just watched the gap widen between us...we finished about 100 meters apart but it felt like so much more because I was just mad at myself....
better run next time! (thank god for two-a-days...a chance to redeem myself!)
