Plodding along in the warmth of the sun (this is last night BTW!) and enjoying the bird song whilst composing my blog entry in my head. I'd done almost 2m and was happily running at 10-11mm pace (very happy at that!) with the occasional sniffle. I start to think "Hmmm maybe I should have taken a heyfever tablet" as I use the runners summer hanki of a sweat band and notice that it's red!! Yep I decided to have another random nose bleed!
As a proper runner I looked at the GPS and time and decided it wasn't worth stopping so carried on!! I kept the blood in place with the occasional nose wipe on the sweat band and had a drink on my scheduled walk breaks. Naturally I did the head back to down a nice cool mouthful of hand hot water (!) and then I get a mouthfull of blood! Yuck!!
Anyway I did slow the pace as I figured that heavy breathing and weak blood vessels may not mix and decided to take a short cut across a foot path (my planned session was 48 mins run walk and then about 30 mins walk as I was collecting Gnome from BB). I thought that this would allow me to pop home and at least change my vest as I was looking like I had walked into a tree! I crossed the field and having passed a man on a bike with 2 dogs I guessed that Mr Swan from Friday wasn't at home.
Nope he was still on patrol only this time he was also guarding a pile of white feathers so I turned back again!
Total run 3.6m in 48mins plus about 1.5-2m additional walking.
So this means that 3 of my last 4 runs have been eventful!
Last Wednesday there was the nausea and throwing up due to heat and hard work, then Friday there was the nausea and gagging at the side of the road due to my impromtu cross country field running (legs green with pollen and lungs too I guess!) and then yesterday's nausea due to heat, running and nose bleeds!!
Who exactly said running was good for you!!??!!
