I ran 5k, barely.  While running I got 2 cramps in my side, they happened about a km apart at 2 and 3. Approaching the 4km mark my stomach was also grumbly and not happy, maybe from the tuna and chick pea juice.  My legs were burning as I approached the halfway point and both of my calves felt like they had enough, I was even feeling some back pain, not sure if it was from my posture.  In the end I was able to push through and finish it off.  I ran at 8minutes/km again which isn’t too bad based on everything and how crappy I felt.  For the last km it felt like my leg was buzzing and tingling.  It’s been 3 days since I last ran because of the rain yesterday but I was finally able to do back to back 5k runs.  I certainly didn’t feel a runner’s high or that I could keep on running forever, I just felt fire in my legs and the desire to just get it over with.

I had toastmasters today, it wasn’t bad, I forgot my humour speech in the car and had to do one off the top of my head up front.  I think I have mostly written a speech for next week, I hope it goes well.  It’s not good by any means but hopefully will be passable.  I finished reading the first Game of Thrones book today, it was really good and engaging.  The only story I didn’t care as much about was the dragon lady but I guess she’ll be integrated with the story better in the next book.  I should get to sleep.
