Excuses

Between one thing and another I didn’t run all week and I think I felt the negative effects yesterday morning, when I did. 5.25 miles.

It was a combination of a few things: tiredness, sunshine in my face, an uninspiring route. It was a lovely sunny morning, though only 11 degrees, so I wasn’t expecting to find it tough so early on. I was running full in sunshine till about 2.5 miles in when it got shadier, but I think the damage was done by then. I had to walk a bit in the 5th mile as I thought my face was going to explode I felt so hot. I knew I would develop a banging headache later in the day from it, and I was right. I have lost weight since the last time I felt I was going to explode from heat, so I don’t know why it was so bad yesterday. Anyway, it got done. They can’t all be good.

I need to get out more during the week but things have been busy. Excuses, excuses.
