Day 6

What I noticed most today is the sensation of being completely overheated. Not while I am running, but when I stop. I just walked in the door and instead of the euphoric feeling I've had over the last few days, I feel groggy and a little dizzy. My head is throbbing and is the color of a beet. It is 41F right now and all I have is a sweatshirt and sweatpants. What the hell am I going to do when it gets hot?

Focusing on the positive, I made it over and back a bit farther than yesterday. I stopped about half way on the Manhattan of S1, and then began running again at S2; continuing the entire way. I almost ran the bridge back and forth completely!~ Only one stop for about 2-3 minutes.

I've also noticed that I am not out of breath anymore. At all! Even when I stop I am almost immediately back to a normal breathing pace.

Coming back over the bridge was tough at first. I felt exhaustion on the upside, but I kicked into auto by S3. My ankles started feeling tight at the end, so I lifted my knees and let my ankles fall loose in between steps. By the end I was kicking my arse with each stride. That helped to loosen my leg muscles.
