Not a good day

Today was not a good run day for me. I was supposed to do a 25 minute run again today.

When I was doing my warm up walk I kindof felt out of breath the whole time but shurgged it off. Then I started running. The first 5 minutes were okay but then I could not catch my breathe. So I tested my heart rate and it was already up to 180 so at 10 minutes I decided to walk for 3 minutes. I still felt like I could not catch my breathe and my heart rate was just racing. I was a little worried at this point. It finally slowed down and I ran 6 more minutes and it was the same thing. So needless to say, I did a walk/run tonight of a total of 30 minutes/2 miles. Not a good night. But I konw that if you heart rate gets too high you should not over due it. I haven't had this happen through the last 7 weeks so maybe my body is finally saying-slow down a bit. Which is ok. It happens, right? Please tell me that you all have had this same problem.



...... I will try it again on Friday.



I found this article about conditioning your lungs.

Quitting is NOT an option
