Okay, so for those of you who can count...days 20-23 are missing...I don't know where they went. But I do know their omission cost me dearly on Day 24. We had to run another 3 miler today.
Unfortunately, I missed hill training on Tues which meant technically I had not run since Saturday June 7 Day 19...
So here we are on Day 24 in almost 100 degree weather and me having not ran in almost a week...for the first time I realized I cannot miss any practice days and especially cannot miss any run days. The cow pasture kicked my ass. I had to run 2/1 intervals - run 2 minutes walk 1 because after 12 minutes of the sun blazing down on my arms, no water or anything to hydrate me I was feeling exhausted. Although, I had my inhaler & used it twice, my chest still felt constricted & I was totally winded.
I could not even do my cool down jog back to our stretching rock...
Exhaustion today tasted like the color orange - my exhaustion today warned me never to miss anymore run days or workout days otherwise it will set me back way too far. I have worked too hard to get to 4 miles to have to start from scratch no good.
But blogging helps, because not blogging means I'm not living up to my end of the training bargain.
But that doesn't mean I am giving up rather I am owning up to my weakness, admitting defeat, but gracefully (I hope) getting back on the workout horse.
Luckily, my training partner in crime Casimiro Llamas, Jr. kicks my ass & literally takes down my name (we have to sign in and out)....
So a special thanks to him for diligently, gently, yet kindly not allowing me to slack.
