20 Minutes Running Intermittent Intervals

Yesterday was a complete rest day. I would have gone swimming but the water temperature was in the low 70's. This morning the water was 64 degrees. I was going to walk, but wound up running intermittent intervals. When I was on my loop back by the lake those pesky geese appeared. I hadn't taken my water bottle with me since I was on a short walk. I had to dart really fast to get away from them since I couldn't squirt them. I felt a pull in my side, but was OK until I got home. Then I started to have shooting pains on my right side and hip. I took two ibuprofen and did some stretches. I soaked in the hot tub tonight. I'll take it easy tomorrow so that I can do the half marathon on Sunday. I'm hoping that all will be well, especially since NY is just 8 days away.
