Oh man...that was rough. This morning a dozen hard-backed books fell off a high shelf onto my head (I have no idea why...they just suddenly launched from the back of the bookcase) and knocked me to the floor. I felt kind of weird and my head hurt but I ran anyway. I did stop for water @ 3.1 miles because I felt so lousy, then after I finished I was walking and suddenly got really dizzy and ended up hunched over the toilet. I wish I could say, "I guess I should have listened to my body," but the truth is, I think I would have felt worse all day if I didn't run, because it affects me so much. Not just physically, but emotionally--I am so mad at myself all day if I don't run.
Sometimes I worry about this a little bit, because I think running is becoming one of those things that I HAVE to do, like checking all the door locks three times before I can go to sleep. Maybe I should start reading my "Overcoming OCD" book again.
STATS: 4 miles; 8:35/mile
