Bad Run Day

The sun was out and all my chores were done, so what better than taking my nice new trainers out for a quick run. The couple of days I have had a pretty sore throat and thight chest so raising the heart rate and a bit of stressful breathing should have done the trick. It was my usual time trial of 4 mile on the flat, which is my progess marker, so timings on this run are pretty important to ensure I am maintaing my race pace. Unfortunately today my throat and breathing were causing more concern that I had hope and at about the 3 mile mark i ran out of flem and started borking.....not ideal. It was like swallowing a fly when your mouth is like sandpaper, hopefully I didn't put too many people off their drinks in the beer garden of the Golden Bowler in Stubbington. Anyway it meant I had to walk for 10 mins (on a four miler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). There is always tomorrow and its 0900hrs at Southsea for a 1.5KM open water swim with Portsmouth Triathletes...can't wait.
