May I have another 10K please?!
May has been the month of 10Ks for me, with 3 total... 2 of them in the same weekend (that was a little painful, haha). With all the symptoms I was experiencing in April, it had me a bit concerned about my runs in May. As any runner can tell you, 6 miles is a long way to go when you need to go to the bathroom. And port-o-potties along the course... well, use them at your own risk. Thankfully, May has been a decidedly quiet month for me, symptom-wise. Whether that's because I've been a little less stressed or because the amount of exercise has been helping (or maybe I've been less stressed because of the exercise), I'm not sure. I've had the occasional pang in my gut to remind me that I'm still dealing with my Crohn's internally, but its been few and far between, which allowed me to run without too much worry. I kicked it off with my sisters at the L+M Memorial Spring Stride 10k in New London. It was perfect running weather: overcast and breezy, but still...
