It was cloudy and drizzly, but nice for running. I didn't hit the TM or the local track, didn't feel like driving. LOL So I did my normal loop around the water by the church. Not sure if it was the two days off because of the quads, me forgetting my water, or what, but todays run SUCKED. The first 1.5 went great. No pain at all in the legs. My issues with my quads because of the WiiFit have subsided, thank GOD. But at mile 1.5, where I decided to do some hills, instead of turning back. The the stitch hit and I could not get rid of it. I ended up walking every .5 mile for 30 seconds, for the remainder of the run, it was bruttal!! I wanted to run 5 miles today, but when I looped back towards my house at 4, I quit. Well, at least I got out there and logged some miles. As they say, some days are good, some days are ugly. Haven't had a bad day like today since I started. Oh well......

Everyone has a bad day now and then. You were overdue for one, I guess. It happens. Don't worry about it. or let it get you down. Getting in a 4 mile run (even a "sucky" one) is damn good.
I'm not bummed per se, especially since my quads didn't hurt at all. Just not sure why I got stitches??:( Maybe it was the 64oz McDonald ice tea I drank yesterday.... though it tasted good going down, I've never had it before.
We all have our off days and they sometimes come without warning or reason. Way to stick the run out.
Side stitches also happen. When I get one I try and concentrate on my breathing and pinch my side with my fingers, this usual does the trick.
Glad to hear the quads are better!
Sorry you had a sucky run. Like you said, you were out there though! Glad your legs are feeling better.
Def better than nothing :-) We all have them :-) At least you stuck with it chica! GREAT JOB!!
