Tough Running

I've been really busy lately and just haven't had much time for running. Between work (including social functions), my book club, and planning a bathroom remodel, I didn't make it to the gym once this week. I think I might have jumped on the elliptical on Monday, but that was the extent of my physical activity this week.

And the lack of activity is what I'm blaming as the reason for today's terrible run. It was really cold and I couldn't get my breathing right. In through the nose burned too badly, so I spent most of the run breathing through my mouth. I got a stitch in my side, I couldn't keep pace, I walked (ever so briefly, but I did). The whole run was awful. And I had the hardest time trying to get warm once I got home-I spent at least 30 minutes standing under the burning hot water to try to shake off the cold.

I resolve to get more running in this week, but we'll see how that goes!
