OTT Class #10: Swim/Run

Today was King Kamehameha Day and I had the day off. I guess other didn't, so they were still holding the class in the afternoon. Since Mike and I had plans for the rest of the day, I decided to try do the workout on my own in the morning. Not such a hot idea.

At 9AM it was about 85 degrees. I ran the 4 miles and felt like passing out at the end. A little dizzy/lightheaded. My legs were fine, it was the heat that seemed to just be beating me down. When I went to do the swim at the pool, it was closed. So I drove over to the beach and couldn't get parking. I finally gave up and went home.

Later, I heard that there were a lot of man-o-war at the beach today, so it was just as well.

Still not done with the cold. There's still some ickyness in my chest. On the plus side, I finally got some asthma medication. It's a long-release type that I take half an hour before exercise. It seemed to help. With today's heat and the stuff in my chest from the cold, the wheezing was practically guaranteed, yet, I could breathe just fine! Hooray!
