Monday the 13th
Saturday was a 14 mile run. I had tummy issues at the start but that quickly resolved. Somewhere between mile 9-10, I stopped to get some pebbles out of my shoes and it went downhill from there. Long story short, I ended up walking the last 4 miles with cramps in my feet and hamstrings. After discussing my issues with Erin (our resident ironwoman) we narrowed it down to an electrolyte imbalance. I had over hydrated Friday with water, should have drank Gatorade or a sports drink. Also, did not eat enough breakfast before starting out. Only good thing, i am making these mistakes before the marathon and not during it!
