I am basically naive and stupid, so tell me if that's serious or a joke, please... When I do run, I get that stupid stitch in the side thingy too. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember taking deep breaths from the gut to help the pain go away. I also slow down just a little bit. You don't want to stop. Hell, it's been 16 years since I quit running so the memory's a bit foggy...

When I was forced to run in school (yes, forced...I HATED it) I would get these horrible side-stitches (or cramps) within the first few minutes. I never knew how to get rid of them and would have to just drop the pace and walk the rest of the way. We used to have to run every other day for this P.E. class and I found that if I drank -any- water that day (even for breakfast) before that late morning (or was it afternoon?) class I would get the side-stitch. If I abstained from liquid the stitch would not happen. My cure, but what did I know? The other reason I hated running is that my throat would close up and thick mucus would form and make it hard to breathe. Thinking back, now, it might have been exercise induced asthma?

Don't go running, light up a nice Camel Light instead. 2. If you find yourself running, stop. Light up a nice Camel Light instead. 3. If you find yourself out of nice Camel Lights, drive (don't run) to the corner store and buy more. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
