So Emme and I were both inspired to run today because the weather is actually decent. Here is what happened: We started together and it turns out Emme runs a lot faster than I do. I was dying by like 4 minutes in. We slowed down a lot, but even after another 4ish minutes I was having difficulty breathing and keeping up. Plus I felt bad because she can go so much faster and further than I can. Eventually she went on without me and I tried to run home, but ended up walking probably 5/8 of the way. I would say half, but that would be a lie...and 2/3 is also wrong. :)
Anyway, I ran for like 9 minutes and then walked/ran for another 9.
And I experienced the ickypants dry caugh that I recently read about in Fitness magazine (ps Emme, I ordered Fitness for $5 a year today). It happens when the dry air is causing the natural moisture in your mouth/throat to dry up and it sucks-I sound all sick and its a bit painful. Maybe I should look into getting a silly mask.
Or I could just wear a scarf...but I dont think I would like that.
Emme is still out on her run-I hope hers is going better than mine! Also, I am pretty sure this means that we won't be running together for the half lol
