So my first day was pretty sad... I completed the mile, but I felt nauseous half a mile in and had to walk the rest. My insides were really killing, felt like there was a rusty knife churning away; still does!
This seems abnormal to me given I was consistently working out for almost 2 hours a day up until the week before Halloween & I never felt anything like this..
I'm pretty sure the below factors played a part in this -
- Lack of sleep - I literally only slept 2 hours last night, from 1:30AM - 3:30AM
- Lack of food - All I had to eat today was a PowerBar 15 minutes before my run-turned-walk
- Lack of exercise - Not only have I not worked-out for 2 weeks but it completely slipped my mind to stretch before I attempted my mile...
So yeah, all silly things that can be worked on. At least I can't go down from here; there is only room for improvement! As my TNT Coach Les said on Saturday, "The hardest part is getting to the starting line, not the finish line."
