The title is the week.. I have been a hot-mess all week. Tuesday was supposed to be a five mile run – but turned into 3 as the cold & humidity made me unable to breathe. My morning running partners – Zully and Suzanne were super understanding (or happy to run a shorter distance) and made sure I didn’t collapse on the way back.
Thursday I had to start by warning them that my hernia (lucky me, I still have an inguinal hernia) was bothering me – so I wasn’t sure if I was even going to make it to the first building before turning back – but I did! I actually finished the run with no problems.
Zully and Tim were meeting this morning at six am to do ten miles.. I don’t do 6 am on Saturdays. Suzanne (who apparently doesn’t do six on Saturdays either) agreed to meet at 6:45, and do the second part of their ten mile loop. The plan was that we would do another loop to get our ten.
The run went well, but we decided to NOT do the second loop. Some blisters on my feet, humidity – all contributed to bailing. Though I think it was a good call.
I run, because I am a runner. Having realized that I have always "been a runner" - even when I went years with out running, I am learning how it has integrated itself in all aspects of my life. When I started running in highschool, my perspective on life changed. Funny that I didn't realize how much it had affected it until just recently.
