Today was rough. Did VA loop, but with quite a bit of stopping/walking. Got down to 7:30 pace for a bit! That's the fastest I've gone in a loooong time. Averaged 8:29. Adjusting to altitude, losing weight and getting in shape will be more difficult than I thought.
Hard time breathing but effort was good. That's what I'm going to start going off of because my body just can't go as fast as it used to. Kind of discouraging but I'll do what I can! 8:32 average with 6 stops, hoping to be able to run through without stopping here in the next couple weeks.
