I Am Beat Up

I ran a 5k route when I got home, and the weather didn't help. It was windy and much hotter than usual, and they took their toll. A recurring problem has developed where my diaphragm is tightening up later in my run. I have to stop and let it relax. I think I'm in OK shape. This hasn't happened to me before, and I don't think it's posture or bad form. It's odd. I ran the whole route after stopping for a breather, and I'm feeling it today. My legs are tight, and my feet feel a half-size larger.

I'll try the run once more before Saturday's race.

It's a real-life beer commercial.
