Training Log: Day 22

Running this morning went fairly well. I started off feeling good, reaaaaal good. My first 3 intervals were pretty solid, and I’m definitely feeling that within a week or two I should be able to up the ante a bit by bridging at least one of two of my interval charges with jogging instead of walking.

By sets 4 & 5 I was pretty worn out, and definitely feeling a bit tired. Also, though the meds I’m on have definitely helped my sinuses, I’m still coughing up a lung everytime I run and getting really congested, so still some work to be done there.

I’ve been trying one or two new daily practices in my life, one of which involves me starting to really get into ending my showers with cold water. It’s such an intense in the body experience to go from warm and comfortable, to cold and shivery! It’s an amazing experience to practice relaxing into the cold water, not running from it. And boom, suddenly your body has equalized and all is fine.

Good stuff.
