Today’s Run: \u00a02.00 miles<\/p>\n
Today was my first day back running after being diagnosed with strep and an ear infection. \u00a0I was diagnosed on Sunday, took Sunday and Monday off from life trying to recover. \u00a0I was a good girl!<\/p>\n
Tuesday, I mowed. \u00a0It needed to be done. \u00a0We have almost two acres here on the Mississippi Prairie. \u00a0Two hours of of riding mower and one hour of push mower work. \u00a0Great calorie burning exercise but hard on a sickie.<\/p>\n
I figured that with doing nothing for two whole days and “almost nothing” yesterday, well, that meant that I could run a few miles today. \u00a0I planned on running Watson Road. \u00a0Watson Road is a nice gravel road that round trip is 3.56 miles. \u00a0 I know it is 3.56 miles because I have run it what seems like a million times and my Garmin always says 3.56 miles. \u00a0So, it must be gospel if Garmin says so, right?<\/p>\n
Off I went this morning. \u00a0It was a little warm~70ish F. \u00a0Not too terribly humid (by Mississippi standards) but boy, it was tough! I had sweat pouring off of me before I hit the first half mile. \u00a0This was not good. \u00a0But it was only 3.56 miles, not too far. \u00a0A walk in the park!<\/p>\n
I made it down then end of our road (our road is .56 mile from our house to the stop sign) and turned right to Watson Road. \u00a0Hill. Ugh! \u00a0Trudge, trudge, trudge. \u00a0It was not even a big hill! \u00a0It felt like a mountain!<\/p>\n
Ah! \u00a0There is Watson Road!!! \u00a0YAY~! \u00a0I again turned right onto Watson and went 1\/4 mile or so and said, “Forget it!” and turned around. \u00a0I was dizzy and way too sweaty for the tempo I was running. Not good.<\/p>\n
I gimped back home. \u00a0NO~I did not walk. \u00a0I ran. \u00a0I had some semblance of pride remaining. \u00a0That .56 mile from the stop sign to our house seemed like an eternity but then, “Bow, wow, wow!!!”. \u00a0There was my dog, Paxton saying, “You are home!!!” and “Are not you a little early???”. \u00a0Fortunately, dogs are our best friends and do not judge you by failed runs. \u00a0He just welcomed me back into the air conditioning. \u00a0Home sweet home!<\/p>\n
