monday runday

today was a rough one.

lots of things a'happening on the work front...and the life front...and when all goes a-muck...it is pretty nice to have running to turn to. for the run i was making up for on sunday, based on the schedule i was to run 30 minutes easy. i opted for my typical upper loop for 3.5 miles.

it went okay. i was pretty tired physically and mentally so felt a bit sluggish and draggy. i think the pollen is affecting me as well because aside from still working on my running lungs, i felt like it was a little harder to breathe...so much so that after the monster hill, i took a little breather (one day, i'll film the running up the hill so you can see what i'm talking about before you call me a wuss under your breath).

but even with that...it took me only 35 minutes which means i'm being too fast (as if the huffing weren't an indication) but at the same time, i'm kind of enjoying the push. it is about time.
