jogging blog #o3
so i went jogging on saturday (the 1st) for the 3rd time evar. and fuck. the last jogging blog i did was 2 months ago. yaaay go me T_T i blame bad weather and a busy sched. actually it's from massive amounts of laziness on my part. shhh.
i felt really determined since it felt like it had been ages since i jogged (i only just checked how long it had been now) and i've been sitting around a lot eating bento for lunch. blaarg laziness. anyway i was running short on time too so i figured i'd try to push myself a little harder.
what i did:
time taken: about 20 mins - alternate between 60 sec of jogging and 90 sec of walking x 8
stretching: no stretching done during and after. yeah i knew i was going to be sore sunday.
path: the usual by the river. but this time there were koi kites and sakura! well mostly fallen sakura but i got to jog and see sakura and tulips :3 and the sky getting darker since it was about sunset <3
issues: despite using my inhaler before jogging, my chest/lungs felt like it was on fire D: haven't felt that in a long time. i kinda felt pushing myself even more would be doom for me so i eased up a little with the jogging and took longer walking intervals towards the end. not sure whether it was a. asthma kicking in, b. lack of exercise, c. me not wearing a sports bra, d. being surrounded by smoke a lot lately or e. a slight combination of all the above, that was making my chest all fiery. i did not like the sensation at all and i guess that makes me hate running. i tried pacing my breathing and it seemed to help a little but yeah, breathing wasn't fun. at least by the time i got back to my apartment, my chest wasn't on fire anymore.
hmm i just google'd for a solution and it says that i'm exercising a little too much for my heart and should tone it down. sounds good to me XD
i'll take this into account when i go jogging next. i'm hoping to go later today. yaaaaaaaaaaay for golden week!
k. i'm falling asleep at the keyboard despite my bed being my kotatsu and my laptop being on top of it hehe. i need some shut eye.
yosh!
