Wow, Michelem, a 26-mile training run? Those are some serious miles...

I must have been running with you mentally because I was also a little nauseous today, albeit not as much. I blame it on running in the afternoon, which I am not used to.

I went for a 16 km (10 miles) run this afternoon. I ran on Vancouver's seawall because it was the closest thing (no need to drive anywhere) and it's pretty much flat. I won't do that again at that time of the day (3:30 p.m.). It was really crowded with people, lots of very slow walkers walking as a pod of 6-8 family members usually gathered around a stroller, so I had to step aside on the bike path and the cyclists don't like that very much - and the walkers don't take it kindly if you ask them (even gently) to stay on the right. There were also lots of people walking dogs. Some of them are pretty good at keeping the dog at their heel, but there were also some dogs zooming around leashless, and others, usually very small dogs, on those invisible retractable leashes. I almost tripped once and the owner told me to "chill" when I asked to "please pull back the leash."

The good thing is that the 16 km went by relatively fast because I was constantly distracted, and there was interesting light around sunset time. But I think I'll stick to my routine of running in the morning...

Onto another week with increased mileage, then a rest week.
