7:52 AP. Intention was 3x2 but my legs were so very tired that I realized after the first set of two it would be wise to back off and not overstress and get an injury. This was on the treadmill while Vanessa chose to watch Wall-E, again. You know how kids get stuck on a movie and want to watch it over and over?--well, for Vanessa it is Wall-E, which is not exactly good running viewing. Anyways I warmed up slow 2 miles, did 2 at 6:49 pace and realized that between Saturday and heavy mileage yesterday I was just not ready to do this today. Slowed down to 7:30 pace, then slowed down more to 8:34 pace, made it to mile 6 and in a sort of rebellion did one more in 6:49, then slowed down for the last 3 miles. Sweat levels were off the charts today, especially for me. Now it gets funky, when I stepped off the treadmill I felt sick and the room started spinning. I leaned over the stairs for a minute until I felt a little more steady, and then curiousity got the best of me. I stumbled my foggy head out to the car and got my glucometer out of the nursing bag. Is it low blood sugar? Nope, 116--my body is doing a most excellent job of releasing adequate sugar into my bloodstream. I chugged a few glasses of water but by then I was already feeling much better. Made a banana milkshake with frozen banana, milk, and egg and drank it and now I feel perfectly fine. Strange. I am almost wondering if it was motion sickness from the treadmill and watching the movie.
pm. 3.03 miles in 7:48, 7:09, 7:07--just needed to get outside and run and it felt good. squeezed this one in really quick before Nick's concert then took a superfast power shower and went and watched Nick and his classmates sing Christmas songs. Oh the season of kid's Christmas programs has begun.
