noon: 6 miles on Reston trails under an overcast sky. For whatever reason I don't seem to have full lung capacity right now--feels like i've been smoking cigarettes or something. I first noticed it in the pool yesterday and attributed it to the thick air in the building, but it's definitely still there when I run. If it's still there later this week, then it's grounds for concern, but for now i'll just assume it's a passing blemmish.
pm: Went to a personal trainer in Leesburg for an hour. He specializes in core strength, stability, flexibility and balance, and he was recommended by a few reputable sources. I learned a couple of cool core-building exercises, but otherwise felt like I could have managed just as well on my own. |
