"Crappy" Tempo run
No, seriously - I almost crapped my pants today on my tempo run. I had to cut it short to be safe. It was horrible. why? I didn't eat anything weird. The only thing I can think of is that my body hasn't done any 'speed' work in so long it kind of freaked out.
The good news is that my legs felt awesome! I need to get my pace straightened out because it was too fast according to the schedule. I can't tell if that's good or bad?
This is what was on the schedule:
5 miles including 3 @ 9:20
This is what I did:
Mile 1 = 9:37 (154 HR) warm up
Mile 2 = 8:57 (174 HR) 1st tempo mile
Mile 3 = 9:11 (177 HR) 2nd tempo mile
Mile .9 = 8:44 (183 HR) 3rd tempo mile
I didn't make it to the last cool down mile. I'll have to work that in on my run tomorrow I guess.

You're the second person today (at least of those that I read) to blog about almost crapping their pants during a run. It's an epidemic!!
Baaaahhhaaaaa. Sorry, yep, been there. My personal reaction is to piss myself...not kidding. Squeeze those buns together and get to walkin!
I'm sorry you didn't feel like you had a good tempo run in today... although, looks like you did a great job! Ok, now that you got a crappy tempo run in, it might be GREAT next week?? :-)
Whew that's fast! No wonder you almost crapped yo'self!!
I'm like Missy with the pee.
i haaaate when that happens :(
Yikes! Been there...it IS NOT fun. Glad you made it through most of your run.
Hope your tummy is better today.
Nice job on the tempo run. I have had this happen and can never figure out why.
OMG, I am dying. Your first two sentences had me in tears. Glad you made it!
I HATE when that happens. I start looking for bushes and trees at that point.
I found you through another blog your blog title caught my eye - just had to comment. I had this happen a few weeks ago...it sucks! Nice job finishing the tempo run!
