My mood wasn't very good this morning. My iPhone wasn't behaving, the treadmill wasn't behaving and the punctures yesterday left me feeling a bit less than motivated. Still I got in a good breakfast and headed out on the trail.
I ran along the Canal trail I had used for an Olympic triathlon a few years ago. Ironically the distance I ran was the same as I biked last time. Its a very pleasant way to spend a morning it was in the low 80s and nice.
The first 6 miles went well and then things started going badly, I lost music at mile 2. An upset stomach materialised at mile 7 and I ended up walking most of the rest of the way. Things went down hill and I ended up doing just under 14 miles. However the upside is I still managed a half marathon in a good time!
Around mile 10 I was very down as I am very worried about the whole Ironman thing. I called home to chat and also Scotland to my sister. This got my spirits up a little to get home. Its a bummer that my first outdoor run was so bad.
