Wasted Continuum

My running schedule has been completely destroyed by my work these last few weeks. I may have ran twice in the last three weeks. Today is one of the first days that I was able to leave work at a decent time. I took full advantage of it and ran just over 5K. It felt so good, but I was a bit sluggish. I’m hoping that this week I can get back into my routine.

Instead of doing my usual 5K today, I opted to go with a 30 minute run. I wanted to try something different. Since it was so humid today, I figured that I couldn’t actually do a 5K anyway. Since I have asthma, I don’t like to push myself in these conditions. I felt good after the run. I might do more 30 minute runs so I don’t feel so pressured to run 5K every time.

It was hot today. It’s going to be a steady 80 degree week. The sun was almost at full force. I haven’t ran in a week because I was staying late a bit work last week. So today I was not expecting to run more than a block before quitting and going home. I did end up running 2.5 miles. Definitely shy of my usual 5 kilometers. I actually set my run to 30 minutes instead of a distance. I won’t be able to run the next two nights. That means I have to go Thursday and Friday. I really need to go buy a bike so I can at least do some late night biking to work my legs a little.

Today was way too humid. It was already super sunny and hot. The humidity definitely got the best of me. I only ran one lap around Como Lake. I didn’t want to trigger an asthma attack. Hopefully Wednesday will be more forgiving.

I really needed to clear my head today. The run really helped even though it wasn’t a good run.

Today’s run was not great. It was sunny, hot and humid. Not the best conditions for me to run in. My pace was already slow but with 2 kilometers left, my left ankle gave out a little. I strained it a little bit. Nothing serious like last year, but I had to walk a couple times loosen it up.
