w9r2 - feeling sick

Very strange, I had to stop at the 25min mark today because I was feeling really sick - like I actually might puke, infact I still feel a bit sick.

Now I normally run first thing on an empty stomach but today I ran after work and I was hungry when I set out but didn't want to eat first - but I don't think it's hungriness because I normally run on empty. I had some nuts and an apple in the afternoon - could this be it? I felt horrible! I hope it doesn't happen on my graduation run - I want to finish the full 30mins!

Anyone had this happen?
