Bowels almost got me again

June 26, 2017 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Since my bowels told me I wasn't allowed to go 8 miles yesterday, I decided I would attempt 8 today around town. Everything was going ok (and yes, I did use the toilet before I went out - just like every day) until about 4.5 miles in when my butt suddenly felt like it was going to explode like yesterday, and I was like "ah not this shit again". I was about 3.5 miles away from home so I didn't have much of choice but to just continue running. The next mile was mighty uncomfortable but then at 5.5 miles the discomfort just went away and I was able to finish the run ok. Hooray. My average pace for the year has been slowly going up (I am now at 6:41.5 per mile through 786 miles) but whatever. I'm not too worried about it.
