Today was another beautiful day to run.  Unfortunately, it was the first day that I also learned the consequences of not going through a complete pre-run checklist.

I was barely to mile one when I realized that I was going to have, for the lack of a better term, an intestinal issue on the run.  Now, fortunately, my turnaround point is at my YMCA, so I knew that once I got there, I would be fine.

For the next 1/8 mile or so, I went ahead and plowed through.  But as each foot hit the pavement, it became more and more clear that I was not going to be able to run to the turnaround point.  So I made the decision to walk the next 3/8 mile until I could take care of business.

In the end, I was able to do a nice pace on the 1.5 miles back in, and finished in about 42 minutes, counting the walking and the pit stop, so the pacing when I was running was still decent.

As for the music of the day, well, I failed to get the new songs uploaded onto the iPod, so it was another day of random music.
