NIGHTMARE!!!!! total nightmare!!!
Todays plan was........7am run for 45 mins. None of which actually happened lol.
Idea was, i was gonna have to get up and do an early morning run for first time ever as I am working till 7 tonight, then going straight out to meet my friends as it is one of their birthdays and we'r meeting for Dinner....great idea in theory, piss poor performance in reality lol. Had been moaning about the fact I was having to get up so early for a run to some other new running beginners on the runnersworld forum and they put me to shame by telling me of their 5:30 and 6:30 runs so i decided to man up and go for it.
Got to bed last night at around 1am but was accompanied by the puppy as the noise of the wind was freeking the poor macDuff out, thing is the pup snores like a bull......
after what felt like very little sleep my alarm went off at 7am SNOOZE BUTTON, 8am SNOOZE BUTTON, 7:45am........conscience got the better of me.
Got up and it turned out most of my running gear was still in wash....had to don some of Asda Georges finest cotton black leggings which made a very visable panty line underneath an old running jacket that was far to short.........so looking like an absolute embarrassment, i headed out.
As I always tend to drive to a route and then run, i keep my inhaler in the car and take 2 puffs before any exercise.......................this morning, what with it being far too early and the tight jacket restricting the blood flow to my brain, i completely forgot to take it.......i had only run about 2 minutes before i began feeling like i was breathing through a straw, horrible sensation, wasn't gettin the breathes i needed, and so, as a result, i ended up having to run 1 min, walk 1 min which i kept up for the grand total of 30 mins before giving up......so disappointing. as i had to leave for work at 9 i had no time to do anything else, so off to work i went :( very upset........had to get a jumbo chocolate and cream donut from greggs to help cheer me up lol, worked only for 5 mins then i hated myself more hahaha NIGHTMARE!!!!

So, going to have to make saturday a run day instead of a rest day :( ah well, all for the cause....
Nope, that's a pretty fantastic blog right there.
ReplyDeleteYou've got challenge, adversity, weather, dogs, victory defeat and a bit more challenge. Just needs a car chase to make it perfect.
Well done on actually getting out - that sounds like a good job by itself.
lol, surprised there wasn't a car chase, my outfit was criminal :S
