So today I did a 4.5 mile run, but things didn't go so good. I mapped out the route on the computer:
One thing I didn't really consider is that coming off of 33rd avenue and going up Klickitat there is this gargantuan hill. To give you an idea, here's a graph of the elevation gain over a quarter mile according to Heywhatsthat.com/profiler.
Well needless to say, after I got up that hill my energy was zapped. I kept going the best I could but I started to get that woozy, nauseous, not very good feeling you get sometimes while running. Unfortunately I had to start walking at about 41st and wasn't able to run again until about 45th. On the way back towards the starting point I also had to walk the last couple of blocks on Prescott.
This is the first time I've had to walk during a run since I started running programs in January, so this was a pretty big moral defeat for me. In fairness to myself I had to take a break from running when I had the cast on, obviously.
I think I'll be repeating this week in order to get a 4.5 mile run in that I don't have to walk during.
