i love running, but my lungs don’t

suffice to say that my return to CF has been rather lack luster. not that i’m not motivated...i’m more distracted. distracted by school, finances, wedding plans, house renovations, getting my lungs healthy, and taking care of our home together. this is a sign that i need to get my lists back on. i tend to be better when i have easy to access lists, structure, and a regular schedule. having said that...

Run 1600 meters @ 10:27
Rest 3 minutes
Run 1200 meters @ 8:58
Rest 2 minutes
Run 800 meters @ 2:59
Rest 1 minute
Run 400 meters @ 1:38

yeah ... so i didn't pace the first round too good. started too fast and my lungs swelled up like a balloon. given that my normal 5k pace has been about 5:30, this is not too good ... i lost a lot of time stopping to get albuterol in my lungs before moving on. made up for it in later rounds but feeling a bit frustrated. i'm usually pretty good about setting a good pace for myself, but this is another testament to how slacking off affects not just metcon, but strength and pacing/timing as well. lesson learned and can now use frustration energy in future workouts :)

Stress: 5
Strength: 60%
Mental energy: 7
Physical energy: 6
Health: asthma sucks. so running doesn’t feel good ... metcon really suffered during my “hiatus”
Diet: sucks more than asthma. the week after thanksgiving ... yeah ...
Sleep: better. 7-ish hours. matt didn’t elbow me, shout at some gangbanger he was probably arresting in his sleep, or fart on me. blissful peace.
