exercise heartburn (Friday, April 9, 2010)

last night’s run was awful! and i really hate to say that considering i just read an article about not bashing your runs but trying to turn every run into a positive training experience. but i had heartburn almost through the entire run! i know 100% for a fact it was my fault, i should have ran before i ate that pizza. :/

i googled exercise heartburn and found that it’s actually pretty common so for saturdays run and next week i’ll be experimenting with pre-run eating. it’s weird though, i’ve never had this problem before! in all the 5ks and triathlons i’ve done i usually just had like, a bagel on the way to the race then wouldn’t eat until i crossed the finish line to those gigantic beautiful bowls filled with bananas and oranges and watermelon. ;9 ahhh… theres nothing quite like race day. so maybe i should be taking a hint from my race day routine. but like i said, it’s just weird that i’ve only been experiencing this for my last 2 runs! and other wise i’m eating very well! and i’m even drinking WAY less coffee. i went from a HUGE cup every morning to 8oz only when i felt like it, to now, starbucks is like my treat to myself. and it’s always lite or skinny.

the only other suggestion webmb had was changing exercises and theres no way i’m stopping running now! i’ll chew tums on the treadmill if i have to.
