Found last nights run very had to complete but it was my own stupid fault. I went out to hard and to fast, normally I travel at about 8Kph but last night I took of and when I looked at my GPS (Seline) I was going at over 9.5Kph and stupid me thought of well lets just see what happens. Man did I hit the wall at about the 8 minute mark I could barely move my legs it was so bad I almost fell over. I had never felt anything like it could barely draw a breath I have been tired in the past but not like this. I new then that I had to stop for a bit so walked for 1 minute and then tried to run again but was no good my feet were killing me that’s when I realised that my laces were too tight and my feet were throbbing. So stopped completely retired my shoes and then started of again managed to keep running for the last 12 minutes but at a very slow pace. I felt like a fool when I got home as I have been doing to well and have been so careful to pace myself can’t believe I threw everything I have learnt out the window last night DUMB DUMB DUMB. The only good thing that came out of last night was the fact that I now know what it’s like to hit the wall and hopefully if it happens in a race I won’t panic like I did last night. Also how dumb is it to tie your shoelaces so tight you feet hurt anyway now that’s behind me and looking forward to Fridays run hopefully things wont be as bad as I have two days to recover.

dehydration (and that is prob what you experienced) is a bitch. But a good leson learned. Keep up your great efforts, and will be with you for the 4km challenge.xx
Good work on the weekend man, great to see you tackle that park with much gusto, cant wait to see whats to come, just remember; keep up the fluids, just like in D&D you can get all the good roles but what good is it if you havent had enough to drink ;)
