Thursday night W1D3

W1D3

So, after Sunday's run - accidentally typed "fun" and fixed it immediately which says something, I guess - anyway, after that run/walk my neck was killing me. I was able to do storytime on Tuesday but only after lots of stretching before the program and by mid-afternoon, I was almost nauseous because of the pain.

I took it really easy Tuesday night and took 1/2 a Vicodin before bed. It was just enough to let me sleep for real and I did feel better Wednesday.

It wasn't until today that the neck pain was 90% gone. So, on the way home in traffic, I decided I felt good enough to try again.

It was dark when I started and this time I went alone. I missed the kid. :) I also missed the sunlight. It was difficult to watch my seconds when I couldn't even see my watch. So I tried counting to 60 in my head but it started to interfere with my breathing. And speaking of breathing, I can't seem to do it naturally while running. I fall into two beats in two beats out but that just puts me on the edge of hyperventilating.

I need to do a little research on this breathing thing.
I found myself not quite running for the 60 seconds. 50-55 seemed to be the top of my game. Maybe it was because I had already had a full day of working, etc. 

On the good end, I was sure to take a full 5 minutes at the end for a quick walk cool down and that helped with the recovery immensely.

Next up - Saturday. Maybe. :)
