Well, March may have ended with a bang, but April started with a bust. I tried to head out for my 20k LSD today (it's a step-back week) and it was a disaster. I slogged through the first 30min, waiting for the yucky I-don't-wanna-run feeling to go away. It didn't go away, and I started to feel light-headed and nauseous. I have low blood pressure, and I know that light-headedness is a warning sign. I told myself that I could stop after 1 hour. I managed to stay out for 1:21, but I only covered 10.3km. Very slow and very painful. My legs are still sore from the 51km I logged last week.
Alright, so I couldn't get my mileage in today...I'm not going to beat myself up for it, since it's a stepback week and I can't push it if I'm not feeling well. Hopefully things will go better next week.
About Me
- anners
- I am an average, not-really-athletic woman who took up running in an attempt to lose weight. That was in the summer of 2004. In the beginning, I found it difficult to run continuously for 10 minutes. I ran my first half marathon in June 2005, and my first full marathon in May 2006. I lost about 25 lbs over time. In March 2010, I had a baby!! Now it is like starting from scratch again, but I am determined to stick to it!
