I need to call my allergist/asthma dr. I headed out to 34th north (35th?)...whatever is at the end of 16th east and turns back west. Interval/hill day. Planned on a few 800m repeats and mile repeats and 400s...Attack in my first interval. Tighter and more serious than just the normal wheezing. so I stopped to breath at the top rather than just turning around and "resting" on the way down. Caught my breath (it waited for me, how nice) after a few seconds and decided to try it again. To no avail, so I thought I'd run home and eat lunch and then run a tempo later and again tomorrow to make up for my laziness today. Ended up running farther and faster than I meant, so I had a shorter tempo (6.5 miles) but I didn't want too many miles, seeing that it will be three days in a row of 16. But this afternoon's run was good. The uphill kicked my trash a little but I hit my stride a couple of miles in and then kicked the run's trash (would that be the opposite of it kicking mine? Because whatever the opposite is, I accomplished). Good hard run. Good effort. I needed that. |
