Training Day 51: 4 miles - Now I feel steamrolled

Date: 22 April 2008 / Distance: 4 mi / Time: 33:09

When I lived on the east coast, my spring allergies were MISERABLE.  I'd sneeze eight times in a row, I would blow my nose every 5 minutes, and I'd be forced to wear glasses for 2 weeks because my eyes would be so itchy and aggravated.  I haven't had the miserable spring allergies on the west coast.  However, I do feel some allergy symptoms -- like a sore throat and a runny nose.  I decided to run on the treadmill for my 4 miler to prevent the San Diego tourists on the boardwalk from being subjected to seeing a sweaty girl with snot running down her face or all over her sleeves.  Gross!    I had a good run and then I did my core strength workout of dips, squats, lunges, and some free weight work.  I had a good workout but I didn't think it was all that strenuous.  Wow - Joel tried to wake me up at 7:30 this morning. I could barely open my eyes and roll out of bed.  It took me 15 minutes to wake up.  It's 9 am right now and I'm still in my pajamas.  Ugh!  Thank goodness it's an off day.

naw - it's because I was on the treadmill. I do not run that fast outside. If you look at my old times, I average about 36 minutes.
