I actually did run Sunday (long run, 1 hour) and Saturday (45 minutes), but never got around to logging either one. Oops! But yes, I did end up missing 2 days of running last week, but s'okay. My body needed it.

Today was definitely my fastest since I started running regularly a couple of months ago, but this wasn't necessarily a great thing. Had to stop a little after mile 4 to walk for 30 seconds, as I was getting a wee bit light-headed. Not the smartest thing to do, run out too fast, but what can I say? It was cool, I actually felt good (funny, considering how little sleep I got last night, about 4 hours), and, well, I was disappointed with my run yesterday (pace about 12:26) and Sunday (~15:00, which might as well have been a walk). Yesterday can be partly attributed to bad allergies -- it was hard to get a full breath at times. Today, I had no problems. I'm on my 2nd day on this new OTC med that my doctor gave me to try and alleviate the allergy symptoms, and whaddya know, it might actually be working.

Got a little too excited today, but I feel good anyway!

Oh, and yesterday I did 50 push-ups! Yay, me!
