Texas 10k with a Sidestitch Party!!!

Time: 6:15pm
Weather: Nice and cool
People: Team Rogue, PP, and Southie Keith
Workout: 1 miles warm up, 4x400w/100m jog, 400 recovery, 2x800m w/200m jog, 1x1600m and back up! All paces at 10k pace, which is a 7:54 for me!
Comments: I was a little nervous about this one. Dee had a conference call so I couldn't go off of her positive energy and I ate a cheeseburger yesterday so my diet got a little sidetracked. I couldn't resist the urge, but I'm back on! Warm up was nice. Josh decided to go the other way around, so I ran with him. I'm tired now, so I'm just going to post my times and call it a night. On the 2nd half of the workout I was plagued with side stitches. I've been getting them alot more frequently, not sure what causes them, but need to do some research, cause that could be a major mental block if it happens during the marathon. I spent the 2nd half stopping my watch and waiting for them to subside, but they never really went away.

Nice splits. I do not know about the side stitches. Are they also happening in long runs, or only in intervals?
