Psst...

You should totally check out MissZippy's Larabar giveaway. If you haven't caught onto the trend Larabars are this amazing bites of healthy, deliciousness. They are made from fruit and nuts and contain 9 or less ingredients. The best part, even with about five million flavors, none are over 200 calories! My favs are all in the low 100s. They make for a great snack and I buy them by the semi-truck full.

Sometimes running sucks

In just over a year of running, I've only had a few bad runs, usually caused by sleep deprivation. Today was the worst run in the history of me. I woke up later than I wanted and took my time getting ready. I had a huge gas bubble in my tummy that was taking it's sweet time exiting my system. With all my digestive issues, it's nothing new. I ate a lot last night and wasn't hungry at all this morning. So I ate a larabar to get at least something in me. I live off these (Dear Larabar, send me free stuff. thanks. love, Alisa).

What I ate today:


And then I was off. So far so good. After about twenty minutes, I heard some grumbles, I figured they were just the bubble bursting. Seriously glad nobody was out there with me today. That would have gotten awkward, real fast.

I finally reached my halfway point. Sipped some h20. Mid sip, the grumbles got worse. Luckily there's a potty there. I visited and cleaned out my intestines. Alright, feeling better. Started running again. My stomach started to seriously ache and I walked to the next toilet. I did this one more time run-walk-toilet (one of the perks of running in the park, lots of public toilets). After the last one, I was almost dizzy, so I sat for a bit. Then I hoofed it home as fast as I could without pooping myself or passing out. I finally got home and laid down. I was too nauseous to even drink water at that point. But I had a little. I took the fastest shower ever, then curled up in bed still in my wet towel and took a nap.

I'm starting to finally feel better (four hours later), but I'm in shock as to what happened! The sun was out, but it was cooler. I ran into the wind, but kept a slow pace as to not do too much too soon. Luckily the stuff I was supposed to do today can wait until tomorrow. Or at least tonight.

The good news is: I got my long run in. 6 miles! WOOHOO!

What has been your worst run to date?

Today's, hands down. 
 
Do you have any awkward/embarrassing stories to share?

With my intestinal issues, I've had a few funny farting situations. One of the many reason I run with my dog!!
