Did about 5 miles this morning, and I was dragging all the way... The first mile on this route has the steepest climbs in my neighborhood, and there was a pretty good headwind, and I took it too fast (as usual). By the end of that mile, I had a nasty stitch in my side that never went away entirely. It's been a while since that's happened...

So, does anyone have a foolproof way to make a stitch go away? I tried slowing down, walking, stretching, coughing, turning a cartwheel (hey, it was worth trying), but no luck.
