So today I had my long run, and I made it through my 2.1 mile course. I went extra slow since I've been sick for the past couple of days, and last week I went to fast and couldn't make it past 1.9 miles. I'd rather go slowly and not have to stop and walk, so that's how I took it today.My pace was about 14 min/mile, which is super slow for me since I've been going about 12.8 - 13, but I made it through the whole thing, and got my heart rate up a bit.
When I finished, I felt a bit nauseous, maybe doing too much too soon, but after about 5 minutes it passed. Now I feel like I've drunk a couple glasses of wine, which is my favorite part about running... the tipsy feeling afterward.
Now I'm drinking my water and recovering. Wednesday will be sprints again.
Since I don't weigh myself (It turns me into crazy person when I do), my goal is to fit into my old jeans and to make the wardrobe at work put in a new set of hooks for my costume. When I started I was at the widest hook, now I'm at the second one.
I really need to get back into working out, haha!! Sounds like you are doing really good though (and amazing for being sick).
