Easy 7 with Lucy, sometimes that dog drives me nuts! She will drag (or I'll be dragging her) until she sees another dog or a deer or cat or something, then all of a sudden she bounds off trying to go get it - the only problem? She's tethered to me with her leash. THIS is why I stopped running with her over the winter - she is doing better though and I hate to hear her whine when I leave so I guess I'll keep her around for a few more runs. I think I figured out my issue, during trek I got some tightness in my chest - I woke up in the middle of the night and could hardly catch my breath. The doc on the trip said it was irritation from the dust and sagebrush - sounded right. However, this morning about 2 miles into my run I could feel the same top tightness. I was fine, just didn't push the pace and ran comfortably. It did seem to get better as I ran, but when I stopped I started coughing. It's strange, I've never had breathing issues before. Luckily I have a son who needs albuterol, so I took it just like the doc had me do on trek. Felt MUCH better at kick-boxing, interesting turn if you ask me! Grabbed a 30 minute snooze at home, got the kids off to school and headed off to the gym for kick-boxing. It was a good hard class today! My arms will be sore tomorrow. Then headed home, lots of dr appts today - for the kids. AP: 9:05, splits: 9:02, 8:42, 8:45, 8:58, 9:29 9:44 (hill), 8:54.
