It is getting warm outside. That means no excuse for not going out and putting some mileage on these sneakers. Yesterday was terrible. I thought for a moment that maybe I was dying. Should I be nauseas? Does anybody else sweat like this? Am I actually panting? Why did I choose the route with the huge hill? Could I drink from that sprinkler without looking suspicious? I could not figure out how running had become so hard. It isn’t like I was going fast. I wasn’t going slowly, but not fast either. Somewhere around 9:30 minutes per mile. Alright, honestly, that is fast for me. Well, I eventually had to revert to walking-jogging intervals. It was rough. My legs felt good, but Lord was it hard to get my breathing under control! I got in 3.42 miles in 37:32 minutes, and every bit of it was a struggle.
Today was better. I was able to jog the whole time and cover 3.15 miles in 30:53 minutes. Maybe it was because it was a new day. Or maybe it was the fact that it wasn’t humid and 80 something degrees on a day during which I had very little water. Maybe it was the wine I had the night before that first run. Whatever it was, I don’t know, but today was definitely better than yesterday. I think I may try this again later in the week.
