So, it's been awhile since I've updated everybody on this running thing. The running most definitely isn't going as well as I had hoped. Mainly because of the weather but also because of my lack of motivation after the weather. It's either raining or too humid to function, and I don't want to handle it. Other than that, it's going okay? I'm still not full on running, but I'm going to keep saying I'm running because that will obviously will it to happen, right?
Let's talk about today's run. So today I was supposed to run two miles. Not too bad. The first half mile I was feeling amazing. It was great. Everything was happening for me. I was excited. Then somehow over the next quarter mile I went from amazing to feeling like I was going to pass out on the side of the road. I felt terrible. I definitely wasn't going to make it the full two miles. I immediately set out on going home which was about another quarter mile away. I started hobbling and stopping every few seconds to gain back my composure. I even had to sit down in somebody's driveway because I felt so bad. Somehow I finally made it home and immediately drank water and tried to relax. I'm fine now but for awhile there I thought I was dying in my neighborhood.
Now that this traumatic experience is over, I'm ready to look forward to my future training. I think I'm going to have to start running in the morning, though. It's so, so humid at night, and it's definitely starting to take a toll on me. I'll be sure to run in the morning at least once this week and report back on how it goes.
I think this next week will be fun! I just hope I'm alive to tell the story of it next week.
