Extremely UNeasy Run
Drove to Scarsdale HS, did drills prior & then started run. I have not had such a disaster of a run for over a year like this. I felt strong yesterday (but did not feel great). Today, I felt horrific & weak & felt like I was completely out-of-shape. I went 1/4 mi (fr track to school exit on Brewster) & had to stop because of exhaustion (legs tired, heart beating like crazy - I was running 9 min pace?). Resumed down Brewster right over Rte 22 & had to stop again because I felt utter exhaustion (after 1/4 mi). Ran up Rte 22 to light at Crane where I had to stop bec of traffic (~8/10ths of a mi - this was into mi 2 I felt so sluggish it is hard to describe). Got to other side & then ran up the steeper part of Rt 22 towards Eastchester & had to stop again climbing up the hill (felt exhausted, legs screaming in pain, body felt like I was hit by a sledgehammer - I was 1.75 min in this). After this fortunately I was able to regroup & run straight where I progressively got stronger but did not feel anywhere near yesterday. Ran up Rt 22 left on Scarsdale Bldg right on Bell left on Sprague left up Nelson left on Scarsdale Blvd left on Bell left on Homestead (block further) left on Nelson to Scarsdale Blvd (mi 3), did same loop as prior then down Scarsdale Blvd & looped around Church/school at corner (mi 4 - at this point I began to feel stronger), right on Rt 22 down hill crossed Crane past Wayside up to HS entrance (mi 5 - getting stronger & amazed how different this was vs. mi 2), ran down Rt 22 left by Library left on Brewster into HS entrance to track (mi 6 - felt much stronger but footing shaky after getting of sidewalk along Rt 22 as the road was in really bad shape).
