I've been eager to get back into running. This morning, I tackled my “fast run” session (Week 2 of the beginner plan on the Nike Run App). Or at least, I tried.
By the third interval, I felt lightheaded and had to stop. My heartbeat was below 130, but I still felt like I might faint. I shut down the app, sat in the car, and took a moment to recover.
Okay. So, 2 things:
1. I skipped all running or walking last week because I was down with the flu.
2. I hadn’t eaten anything since dinner at 8 PM the night before.
It made sense why my body wasn’t up for the challenge. Tomorrow, I’ll try again and restart the plan. It feels like the right call to rebuild properly. (Update: I did! I restarted with Nike Run Club Day 1 Easy Run, and I felt good.)
And hey, no regrets about yesterday’s feast at Café Bai. I ate a lot, and it was absolutely worth it. Tomorrow’s a new day, and I’ll show up for it better prepared.
Here's how today's workout looked like (replaced the screenshot from yesterday):

'Til next blog! 💛
