Winter Night
Today I woke tired as some people were outside at 2.25am having a major fight with all the profanities included. They had people trying to keep them off each other. Cars were revving and horns been tooted. Well I called the cops as it sounded like it was getting worse. By the time the cops got there they had finally moved it inside. So the cops left.
It was also raining and cold today and we were still all 4 of us in bed at 7.50am. I knew I didn’t have time even if I was keen to run in the downpour. So I left it.
We had soup and bagels for lunch and Martin and I watched a DVD Juno. It was ok, pleased I didn’t pay to go to the movies to see it though. I was still so tired I had a lay down and when I finally got out of bed it was time to sort out dinner. I now knew my run was not happening, I wasn’t feeling as bummed as I usually would at not doing it. This may be because I decided to go first thing Monday for the run and then do Turbo Jam later in the day to make up for it.
When I was doing the dishes I saw the blue sky and wondered about going then even though 6.35pm. Well it was time to bath the kids. So still didn’t go out. I started the cleaning as well as hadn’t got around to doing the housework. Martin was vacuuming the house so I dusted/polished etc.
The kids were ready for bed and I still thought it was too nice outside so changed and ended up going out at 7.55pm. I walked out the door and thought it was freezing, but Martin said I would warm up. I started running but the cold got to me and I couldn’t breathe through the nose out through the mouth as I was wheezing quite bad. I stopped and walked, it took about 10minutes to recover from the short run. This is the longest recovery time I have had in a long time. I power walked for the rest of the route so 25mins.
It was a real pleasure to be home as it was nice and warm. It was 9.45pm till I was completely over the wheezing though. I have mild asthma so expect to wheeze at times. The problem is I get inhalers but never need to use them so they expire. I haven’t gone to the Dr. to get a new prescription. In this case I would have loved to have one as the recovery would have kicked in straight away.
Anyway my running isn’t improving at all so I need to re-evaluate my running training. I have decided to run 4 times a week. I will run first thing in the morning on the days I normally do Turbo Jam as well as my normal run days and I will Jam later on the Jaming days. Turbo Jam is something I can do with the kids so easier to delay that than the run. Hopefully this will help me prepare as I only have 3months to be prepared to run and cycle and run.
So I will be up with the birds and go for my run. That is after I weigh in of course.
