OK, that's better

I went for a 45 min run this morning. Probably 2/3 run, 1/3 walk. Covered 3.2 miles. Thanks again for the encouragement and information last week, when I went for a run while still recovering from that stomach bug.

Today my legs felt GREAT. It was my heart and lungs that said, "walk now". It is such a beautiful day. About 65 degrees, bright and sunny, everything green, blooming, shiny.

The point about depleting my glycogen stores when I was puking really hit home. Impressive. I'm laughing, because I have a bachelor's and master's degree in science, I "know" this stuff about glycogen, etc, but you don't really know it until you experience it a mile away from home with no money in your pocket!

Now to build the heart and lung stuff back up. Onward! L.

Glad your run was much better this time around.
Sometimes the heart and lungs just won't cooperate, but maybe they were just forcing you to slow down a little and enjoy the beautiful day outside. We sometimes forget the beauty that is around us when we're so focused on time/mileage (and the WE I speak of is referring to me specifically).

Your next run will be even better than this one!!!
