This week has been fairly discouraging. I did not get the mileage in that I had hoped for and the miles that I did do, were far from satisfying.
Sun: 3.88 mi.
Mon: Don't usually run.
Tues: 3.68 mi.
Wed: "Kid aggro."
Thurs: 3.69 mi. Was brutally hot out, I was dehydrated, my lungs hurt, and I had shin splints. Ugh!
Fri: 5.67 mi. See below:
Today's run was weird... I ended up going to the gym because it was so hot out that I really didn't want to brave it outside. I got on the treadmill, which for starters is very boring. 2.5 miles in, I started having heart burn, and then all of a sudden, I was having trouble breathing! My asthma just hit, and I was gasping. I'd estimate I was at about 30% of the lung capacity I would have expected to have at that moment. I don't know. That's just what it felt like, at least. I slowed down to a fast walk to catch my breath. I eventually felt good enough to pick up the pace again, but couldn't go as fast as I had been going. At mile 4, my feet went completely numb! WTF? Then, oddly enough, I felt pretty good at the finish. I think I may have just been glad it was over lol. Tomorrow I am planning 10 miles... I really hope I can do it! My goal this week was 35 miles.. As of today, I am at 16.91. I guess I'm just going to have to fall short...
I just feel discouraged in general. My race is coming so soon...
