This run was bad.  I had tummy issues, and had to decide at regular intervals whether to continue running, trying both to clench my cheeks AND run fast, or run slower home.  I figured that I should just finish the workout and that I would get back faster if I ran faster.  But I questioned the decision regularly :)

Splits for the fast portion were 8:00, 7:59, 8:08, 7:59, 8:16,  8:03.  It did not feel good at all, but now that I'm done and relieved of the extra pounds I was carrying, I feel good.

TMI, I know.

I feel your pain. I had a run like that once. The corn field was looking mighty inviting. I did manage to finish also, but it was not my finest hour.

Weird, my last couple runs have had similar issues and I was wondering the same thing - do I go slow to prevent disaster while running, or go fast to get to the toilet sooner? I ended up doing a hybrid based on how much discomfort I was in. Anyway, way to fight through it!

I've had runs like that. I usually opt to run faster and try to get home sooner. I'm glad you made it home in time.

I just had that problem walking around in walmart. It is good to be home!

I knew I could share because everyone's had that happen :)
