I made it back from Chicago on Monday and I am exhausted! Vacations are tiring. I was able to fit in a couple of runs at the hotel gym while I was there, and we walked EVERYWHERE. So I didn't completely quit working out, but I did a lot less and I definitely felt the difference when I went for a run yesterday. It about killed me.
The air in Chicago is much thicker, and it actually was beneficial when I ran. When I ran yesterday I wanted to die when I hit a mile. My lungs were already burning. Which is weird because my lungs usually don't burn until about 2 miles. I didn't even do my exercises after my run, because I was so tired.
My training schedule is also messed up, so I am improvising this week. Yesterday I ran 1.5 miles. Today I am going to do another 1.5 miles maybe 2, and then do my W.O.D. I am going to be running on my treadmill today because it is too darn hot outside and I will not wake up at the butt-crack of dawn to go running. Plus it is really windy today and my allergies are killing me, so I made the executive decision to run on the treadmill. :)
