I got a little later of a start yesterday than I had hoped for. I couldn't sleep Saturday night, so I read until about 4am. I got out of bed by 9 and slowly got myself together to run by about 9:45. It was already close to 90 outside. And I was tired before I started.
I struggled with the run. Probably because I was tired, it was hot, I had taken 3 days with little excercise and I was just beginning my period-ugh! I wasn't hurting during the run, it was the breathing. I love that they say you should be able to have a conversation while running. I can barely do that while walking at a brisk pace. Hopefully, that will improve with time.
I had my dog Joey with me for just the first 2 60 sec runs. Then took him home during one of the 90 sec walks. He was pretty tired and hot.
I cancelled his physical that I had scheduled for this eve. I remembered he had some tests about a month ago, so I called and spoke with the vet. She said he was healthy, but she was absolutely opposed to any dog running, saying it's too hard on their joints. I neglected to tell her that my running is really more like a 'heavy walk'. My jog is equal to Joey's trot! I think I will plan on bringing him some, and just really watching his behavior and taking him home as he begins to wear down.
This morning I woke up feeling like crap. I had a hard time sleeping again. Could be those darn 'True Blood' episodes I've been watching right before bed! But also my whole body just aches. It's not sore muscles, so I feel like it's more menstrual cycle related than it is to running yesterday- in any case, I stayed home from work today and just took it easy. The fact that I took something to sleep also has left me feeling groggy all day today.
Sure can't wait to run again tomorrow.
In case you can't read sarcasm well in print...know that I'm disgusted with the idea of running tomorrow- but I'm going to do it anyway!
