Back on the run!!

After a nice week off I decided that I needed to get out of the house and move a little bit.  Especially since my high school team is hosting an all-comers meet the day after memorial day, where I will compete in something, looks like it may be as part of a 4x8 at the moment.  But since that is only a week away and im putting in some hours at work this week I wanted to get a run in today.  The plan was to run a 2.5/3 mile loop.  unfortunately in order to leave my house I have to run up a pretty steep nearly 300 meter hill, which does not all for easing into runs.  But once I got going I was feeling really good.  Around the 2 mile mark the same breathing issue I had one my last run with Michael hit me again, but since I was by myself I had less motivation to push through it, so I only got through just over 2 miles.  Did discover a pattern in the two episodes though.  Both times I had not prepared to run during the day.  I had not eaten much and was very underhydrated.  Also, both times I had done some level of activity for the few hours before I attempted the run, last time walking the mall, this morning cleaning the pit.  So I can blame myself and make sure I don't let it happen again!  Also tried my hand at the bench challenge the activedge team used as part of their race last weekend.  As many reps of bench as possible with half your body weight.  So I weighed myself and set it up. But once again was stupid and did not warm up or anything.  Only did 40 reps not quite the 50 I wanted :)  but thats ok, I have not lifted in about a month, Ill hit it before the summer is out, maybe even before i leave for cali!
