My first really bad run since going raw. I felt like I had all my asthma symptoms except my breathing was good. My heart rate goes real high, feet go numb, and I get light headed, hard time keeping my eyes focused. Something new today, my hands seemed really tight and swollen, almost like I ate something really salty the night before - which I definitely didn't (celery???). When I'd make a fist my fingers would be all white when I opened them up.
I was drinking water with lemon wedges every 2 3 miles and half way at mile 7 I had some dates ground up with almonds and walnuts. Tasted good and did not seem to upset my stomach at all. It was humid but nothing compared to last weekend here. Had to walk/run the last 2 miles.
This is my 5th summer running and I'm feeling discouraged. I've been feeling so good the last 3 weeks eating this was I though for sure this was my answer - RAW I've had figured it out! Now my husband is telling me to "get to a doctor" not what I want to do! Last year I was running at a 9 min pace, now I'm falling way behind the 10-minute group. Yikes!!
