So on Monday i ran in front of the house, and it really took it out of me. i forgot how hard it is to run on hills and gravel (no matter how small those hills are). i was so knocked out, i had to stop and walk for a minute at the halfway point, and barely finished the run. i felt really weak afterward, like i had just climbed out of a pool after swimming for hours. i'm not entirely sure how accurate the map is at MapMyRun.com is for this route: surely it's longer than the 1.5 miles it claims i ran yesterday. i need to drive it to double check the distance.
Tuesday i was so sore; i could feel it every time i tried to sit up straighter in my desk in class or had to kneel down to get a paper bag at work.
The high yesterday was 72, today it's 69 and the windiest conditions that i've run in for quite a while. i woke up with a sore throat and slight cough, almost overslept, and am still a little sore. i wanted to push to 9 laps today, for 2.7 miles, but i didn't make it. i ran 8 laps for 2.4 mi., pausing at the end of 3 and 6 for a couple of gulps of water. It was really hard today, partly because of the heat, partially because i was running directly against the wind half of the time. Even though i had the pauses Monday and today i plan to move on to week 8 and try to stick to the track. So on Friday i'll start week 8, on which the forecast calls for cooler weather.
i plan on buying allergy stuff on Friday. Over the past week i had a sinus headache on and off, not my worst by any means, but certainly over my longest stretch ever. Yesterday during my work lunch (around 4:40 p.m.) i bought a 20oz. Coca-Cola at BigLots and my headache immediately went away. i drank part then and part after work and my headache has no signs of returning. i've always suspected that drinking Coke made me feel better and has pain killing properties, but it's kind of crazy for it to be proved to be the case. i hadn't had a Coke in a loooooonnnnnnggggg time.
i have to write a paper for U.S. Lit. tonight, we're having a party for Polly, and of course there's Lost. i still haven't been able to fix my computer, but i'm still working on it... i'm not the most computer literate person in the world.
