Taken at the tail end of the CCHS 5K, when I was pushing myself beyond what I believed I had in me, I noticed something about my stride/stance. I don't know if it's a common thing, but I was leaning way forward. WAY forward. For tonight's run, I tried to stay conscious of that, and when I felt the pull, I had a little chat with my core and my legs. Core muscles tight, use the leg span and get the legs a bit forward. Lo and behold! I could have probably kept running...dare I say to the 10K level...this evening. That's crazy, as I felt nauseous and migraine-ish off and on today. The weather was perfect, the sun was setting, and I finally figured out how to keep myself from feeling like someone was trying to pull my lungs up through my throat.
