A run with the runs

Oh boy, click away now if you have a delicate stomach.
I was supposed to go for a 30 minute run today as part of the One Hour Runner program and I was planning on going for a run outside. However, the heavens opened and I’d rather run on the treadmill than run in the rain.
I’ve been feeling a bit dizzy and run down all day and yesterday evening too but I was hoping that my run would clear it up. As I mentioned in a previous post, my daughter has had a stomache bug and hasn’t been sleeping well so neither have my wife and I.
So I went to the gym and started running and it was very tough right from the get go. I was rather surprised as I normally find the first twenty minutes reasonably ok and only start to curse from that point on. About 15 minutes in I started to get really dizzy and I thought “uh oh, what’s going on here then?” I normally sweat quite a bit whilst running but today I was absolutely drenched at that point. I stopped for a minute and went and got some water and thought maybe I was just tired. I got back on and resumed running at a slightly slower pace. About 6 minutes later I felt some rather serious rumblings and hit the emergency stop button and made a beeline for the bathroom. I won’t go into details but suffice to say I think I have caught my daughter’s stomach bug.
I’ll have to redo the run tomorrow now as I only managed 21 minutes and 3.6 km in my aborted run. Oh well, I guess these things happen eh.
