New month. Not off to a good start at all./Old 5k result

So today I did a few things that I HATE doing. Shortened up a route, and walked. Since I started this blog, I can't remember a time where I actually had to walk rather than just slowing down. Factors involved made it necessary.
1. I've taken a whole week off. I didn't mean to, but since my younger daughter is now out of school, I'm taking care of her, and haven't wanted to revert to night running.
2. It's hot out there, and I didn't get out until it was about the heat of the day. Not used to it, and like I've said previously, I should avoid it.
3. Last night's dinner was exceptionally heavy. Ribs AND chopped pork bbq plus corn on the cob (fried). I ate a rather anemic looking salad as well, then probably surprised my guts with the invasion of the pork brigade.

I'm somewhat glad I did it though. It's a fine line between pushing myself and just being stupid. It's a bad precedent to set though, for not too particularly long runs. I tried to do the UDMGAG, but went straight down Gay instead of the jog over to Armstrong (and the other jog down Payne). I walked from Samford/Gay to Woodfield/Gay, which a good chunk of walking, but I didn't want to have to stop a second time. I did get out on a fairly short bike ride the other day, but otherwise I've been rather a SLOTH. Bah.
