I've had a rough two weeks. And then out of the blue, I had a great 10 mile run yesterday. I finally found my "second gear". If my math is right, the second 5 miles was 7 minutes faster than the first 5 miles.
I'm off the Singulair. I tried that for about 10 days. It was working great for the asthma. But it was also causing mood swings, insomnia and loss of appetite. I didn't feel like myself at all.
I'm now trying Advair. Side effects include headaches, sore throat and (gulp) "menstrual problems". We'll see how that goes.
My thinking about the 1/2 marathon is now trending back towards "do it for the experience, even if you're not going to beat last year's time".
Ups:
- Weather was great for running. Low 60s and partly cloudy.
- My legs felt great yesterday.
- It was "Single Ladies" day at the bike path yesterday.
Downs:
- I forgot to wear sunscreen. I now have a slight sunburn on one side of my face.
- Lungs are still way behind the legs.
- The Single Ladies were mostly in their 60s.
