Update from last post

I had an awful run.  I think I ended up drinking too much water and washed out my electrolytes and so I seized up bad.

I ended up almost passing out in Panera, was late for work and had to go home for a couple of hours.

I was ready to quit running then and there.

But... On Sunday, after work.  I was like, "I really want to go for a run... A nice and easy run." So I did.  I went slow and took lots of walking breaks and only did like 3 miles but it felt great.  So... what does that mean for me in my training?

I'm doing my other long run tomorrow early.  I've planned it out so that I go to bed early, get up have oatmeal for breakfast and put some powdered Gatorade into my pack so that I'm replenishing electrolytes along with the water.  I'll see how it goes tomorrow and if it's just as bad as last week I'm going to re-evaluate this whole training for a half-marathon thing.
