As promised I went for a bit of a run today. I had decided that it was a good day to practice my run/walk race strategy, and I knew right away that it was a good decision. Actually I was a little surprised at just how tired I felt. Believe it or not I felt faint after about a minute of running, and my heart rate had barely gone over 80! I've experienced this a few times recently, even when I have just gotten up to walk after being sedentary for a while. It's like my heart lags a bit in response to my increase in activity. Very weird! I don't worry about it at all, and in actual fact I think it may be a reflection of being very fit. I just find it interesting.
Anyway, that early sense of dizziness passed, and I started to get a bit of rhythm. I still felt very tired however, and started to worry a bit, as my heart rate was still too low. I decided right away that 10 kms was gonna be the limit for today. That's what is supposed to be on an easy week anyway. And as the run progressed I got into the groove and for the second half I was much quicker, with a much higher heart rate. All is well!
