Under hydrated, at 5:30pm with 70% humidity, with new shoes that are bad, not the right shorts, and on a full stomach.

That's right, I had the worst run in my entire life. It was the Nashville "I Run For the Party" 5k. I couldn't even run it all. I walked probably 1/2 of it. I don't even like to walk! I think it all started with my late lunch. We didn't finish eating until like 3:30 (and it was a big, spicy meal). There wasn't enough time to digest. Then I couldn't find the shorts I wanted to wear so I settle on ones I KNEW wouldn't be good. I bought these new sneakers last week and tried them out once. They made my right foot hurt, but I thought maybe I was just making it up. Nope, I'm not. I have to take them back. I also don't think they have enough support for my heal cause that was hurting, as well as my calves. Then I don't think I drank enough today, so I felt soooo thirsty. Then when I got there they had run out of safety pins so that was a bad sign.

I felt okay for the first like 400 yards and it all fell apart. Horrible! Anyway, I just thought I'd share.

Blah
