After sleeping a little late (1.5-2 hours later than normal) and having a delicious omelet breakfast that Chris made me, I decided to run. I did a few jobs around the house so my food would settle before running. I know that I should not sleep later on the weekends, but I need more sleep than I am getting every night. So that extra hour or two really makes me feel better. I've realized that I am the type of person who needs about 8-10 hours a night, but I get only about 6-7 hours. After several days, then I need to get a few hours more in order to function and be alert.
I took my inhaler and suited up. I ate a couple of Clif energy squares, slathered on sunscreen and sunglasses, and headed out. I wasn't sure how far I was going to run and decided to just run and see how I felt before turning around and heading home. I did a little walking, mainly on the bigger hills, but kept pushing myself to run farther. By the time I was home, I had logged 6 miles. Not a bad day!
When my hair began to turn gray abundantly, a kindergartener pointed to my hair and said, "Mrs. Wheatley, you have silver highlights!" So, I'm not turning gray, I have Silver Highlights! And I'm a runner. This blog is about my adventures as a runner and asthmatic. Read on to follow my journey on my weekly runs and many races.
