Oh MY!! decided to run up 1100north fresh up from SEA LEVEL and although I was under a 9 pace my breathing felt labored. My legs wanted to turn over quicker but my cardiopulmonary system was like "HELL O" as I got to the summit and ran the canal my pace quickly went under 8 but my breathing was still labored. Perhaps its just all the McDonald and Wendy's fries I ate in the past week. We went a total of four times to fast food. Lots of fries. I like them dipped in sweet and sour sauce. The salt and sweet. mmmmm. But apparently the fat from them is sticking to my lungs. I eventually evened out my pace to about a 7:53 for a while and decided I would just run 10 but my route made it 11 so I had to keep going although I walked for .3 miles before the last mile. I was done. MUST MOVE SOMEWHERE HUMID!!! I grew up in New Hampshire. I miss the drizzling water in the air. And the little curls in my hair (ringlets). I am sure I will get back to normal soon. It has only been 2 1/2 weeks since SGM and seems like it was over a month ago. AP for 11 miles = 7:58. First mile 9:04. Last mile 7:58. Marathon pace miles= 3 (7:33, 7:12, 7:32). Addedum-- I suppose fatigue could be the issue-- 10 hours in a small car with my family and I drove 4 hours of it, the last part until 930pm. Then went to bed at midnight. Got into watching the survivors of the crash in 1972 over the Andes (Alive the movie is about that) talk about their experience. Got up at 7am and didn't get out to run until 1100am in the DRY heat. I was parched. Totally : D.

Wow! YOu are a strange creature loving humidity! I prefer the dry, cold air! And, traveling is exhausting for sure!

if it were 80+ degrees that would be a different story...I also got more abrasions than usual between my legs. However like the easy breathing thing. Three days off is killing me. I got to bed late before each of my shifts this weekend and could not pry my butt out of bed to run. Hibernation mode coming on strong.
