Another accident

My 3 mile runs are not getting any faster. I used to run it in 26, 27 minutes. Now I can barely make it under 30! I know, I know, I only started running again after a month off a few weeks ago. It's gonna take some time to get my cardio back up and going but damnit, I liked the conditioning I was in before. I know I won't be placing in any age categories for my upcoming races.

Today something new happened to me again. Well, not really new. It's happened in 2 of my races. My very first one and my 8k this year, in which I never really trained and pushed way too hard at the end. I had a leaky bladder. I was walking a few steps after stopping running and boom it felt like I had to pee. I stopped, stooped over and tried to hold it in. A few many drops managed to trickle out. Yuck. I'm not alone, see here. It even happens to men!

Now off to take a shower before my Northern Illinois Trail Runner's Organisation seminar. It's on Pilates tonight!
