5 miles in KY state park

I had perhaps the worst run ever today.  I was exhausted.  It was 90.  My calves were throbbing.  But i ran anyway.  Well, I ran/walked anyway.  There is a 2.5 mile loop at Barren Lake State Park and I did it twice.  After the first lap, I went to the bathroom and splashed water on my face because I seriously thought I was going to melt.  I've never been so sweaty in my life.  I had to walk up the hills, because every hill my calves cramped and were extremely painful.  I stretched before-hand, but i think the race yesterday just killed my legs.  In any event, I did 5 miles and it took me like 55 minutes, but at least I did something today and didn't just spend all afternoon at the posh Days Inn in Glasgow, KY... 

On the plus side, the last time I was in this park I was 8+ months pregnant and weighed over 200 lbs, so at least I felt much better about that!
