I am sure have may have worse runs a during this journey but tonight's run was the absolute worst run I have ever had. Thank goodness Gunner was running with me or I may have quit. However, I completed all 5.5 miles. Honestly I have no idea what caused it to be so bad, but I got a side stitch half a mile into it and it got so bad I had a hard time breathing. It felt like my diaphragm had a charlie horse in it that would not release. It was so bad I was breathing all weird and making weird noises trying to push through the pain and Gunner kept looking at me asking "Are you ok Mom? Do you need stop?" After a few minutes of the worst pain it eased up but continued to hurt throughout the entire run. I just felt off.
It was his first time to get to run through down town so he was thrilled and of course, thought he was big stuff. (Even I feel like big stuff when I run through downtown, over the pedestrian bridge and around the stadium.)
So even though it was a not good run, I can't call it a "bad run". It felt great to finish. I got an hour of exercise in. I spent quality time with Gunner and had some awesome conversations. And I got to be with him as he experienced his first downtown run.
