Worst. Run. Ever.

127 Days to Race

I was supposed to do three miles. It should have been no problem.

We're having an ozone day here in the Houston area. I have asthma. So even if I had wanted to go run in the unbearable heat--near 100 degree heat index--I couldn't. I didn't really want to run on my old treadmill so I headed to the gym. 

About a half mile into the run I realize I'm just going too fast for today. I try to slow down. BUT THE MACHINE WON'T LET ME!  I have to stop and start again.  I just couldn't do it. I kept having to slow down. I ended up walking about a third of the run.  I felt so bad. I thought I was going to be sick. I reached the point when I didn't even want to keep walking. 

I don't know what the hell is going on but I hope it goes away soon.

Ugh.
