(Nick) the last few days have been horrible weather wise, overcast with tons of wind. But the days off gave my legs a much needed rest for today's run. Went out to boulder city, didn't really have a certain distance in mind, didn't really have a solid course in mind either. I walked around and noticed a section going out towards the lake, on the opposite side of six tunnels. I watched some cyclists come and go and thought it would be nice to change it up and try something new. I then decided trying to break my 5k would be nice since my strength was back and nothing was sore. After the 0.5 mark gps alerted me of a 6 min flat pace, I made a snap decision and decided to try and break my 1 mile record. Shaved 16 seconds off and finally got into the sub 6 minute club (if there is such a thing).
It was really hot out today and instead of continuing on further I decided to double back to the car to get some fluids. I rehydrated and decided to try my 5k. Made it 1.7 at a 6:22 pace before my stomach decided to void what was inside all over the sidewalk. I was pissed! My legs wernt overly tired, my breathing was still somewhat under control but my stomach just wasn't having it. I jogged back to the car content that I still got a 5:51 mile out of the day. It sure is warming up now and it's gonna be a whole new game trying to stay hydrated. Still need to work on my nutrition and carb loading.
