Another 5k is on the books! This time we all went out together – Casey with Brady in the stroller and me trying to run with Dude. After doing a warmup and running into a dog in a yard off its leash, we decided to head up to the track at the school to try running there. Unfortunately (I guess since it was the weekend), the gates were locked and you would have to hop a fence (and throw over a dog and a stroller) to run on there. Even though it was 63, it was a bit breezy Casey decided to take Brady back to the house to warm up. Dude has never been run before and now doesn’t seem like a good time to start him. He has an annoying habit of trying to run in front of me as I’m going along or trying to chase after cars that drive by. That doesn’t make for such an easy run.
After putting the stroller away and getting everyone settled back in the house, I started off again to finish up my run. No excuses, right?! Even with all of that my time for a 5k ended up being the same as it was a few days ago when I ran. I did have a little chest tightness/pressure/difficulty breathing but I managed to push through it. And I think the Claritin is definitely helping with the hives because I was hive-free yet again today!
I’m already a little sore and I know it’s going to be even worse tomorrow. Hopefully it’ll warm up again this week and I can get some more run time in. I’ll also be signing up for my first 5k soon! Wish me luck!
