I ran twice while I was at home.
TWICE in a WEEK.
I am a failure. One was 4.15 miles and the other was 3 miles exactly. This month has been kicking my ass.
It's so hot, and so humid all the time and I can't seem to slow myself down enough.
Take this morning as a great example, and one that was recent enough I can still remember it.
Plan: wake up at 7 am, out the door by 7:30 for a light jog around campus with a goal of ehhh 4 miles or so.
Actuallity: woke up at 9am, out the door at 9:30. Temperature was 89 degrees with a humidity of 97%. NINETY-SEVEN! I feel like that close to 100% it might as well be raining. That or you should just go swimming instead, because that's what this morning felt like. I was wheezing after .3 of a mile. Hard core wheezing too, the kind where people look at you funny. I could not find any oxygen in the air, it was like breathing hot water. I think I did about 3 miles but it was painful. My legs felt dead halfway through and I'm not sure why.
I am most definitely in need of a boost to overcome this month. It's been so long since my last run that just felt awesome. I can't remember it and it's becoming a little scary. I dislike failure especially when I was doing so well just a few weeks ago. Maybe there's a 10 week plateau/stall when you start. Or maybe my body just doesn't feel up to it in this weather, who knows.
I do know however that I will be back out running Friday morning and hopefully getting a few treadmill miles in tomorrow or Thursday.
