7:30 am started out at 56 and my run ended at 72ish degrees.

This run was horrible...but honestly if this is the worst run of the week that is fine by me. Better than race day.

I had some stomach trouble and then during my run I could not get rid of a side stitch. It would not go away. I would walk and it would go away and then come back. I took the yellow dog and he hates walking now and keeps pulling. Poor guy.

I didn't sleep well last night. I was in bed at 1030 but got up at about 1145ish b/c I still couldn't sleep. So I got about 6 hours of sleep. I so don't do well without a set schedule. I miss that about school.

Looks like it is going to be a bad allergy day so I'm going to lay here till my friend calls and we can go to lunch.

I got my chia seeds today. Of course I got them after the run. So I will try them out tomorrow on my run.

That's quite a temperature change!

For the side stitch, try really focusing on your breathing and getting good deep breaths. I like to breathe in for 3 steps (each foot that moves forward counts as one step), and then out for 2 steps. So I might do left-right-left while breathing in, and then right-left while breathing out. The next breathing in then starts with a right-foot step. This way, you alternate what foot is going down as you start the inhale. That might help with the side stitch. Just a suggestion.
