Weather: Mostly Cloudy, 41°F, 84% Humidity, Wind: From NE at 8 mph; feels like 36°F.Pace: 7:31 min/mile
Course: Beginning on Canterbury Road, take a right onto Monroe Ave, until turning a left at South Goodman, followed by a left onto South Clinton Avenue, another left Elmwood Avenue, yet another left on Eastland to Southern Parkway then onto Monroe then to Culver and back onto Canterbury until finally making my way home.
Yes, I'm still feeling the (more and more familiar) discomfort on the left side of my neck , chest, and arm, but inspired by yesterday's dog-walking excursion, I thought I could attempt to start small and go for a brief, slow-paced, easy run (I just can't type the word "jog" and mean it). Plus, I really do not want to have the obligation of penciling a goose-egg (0) for my training mileage this week...
Of course, once I was aware of my surroundings and situation (on the road and attempting to run), I naturally picked up the pace and while the distance was short, the pace was fairly steady and quick (7:30 mi/min).
Immediately afterward, I did experience a sharp discomfort in my left chest, but this quickly subsided and was not in accompaniment with a especially high level of breathlessness. I'm looking forward to Tuesday's appointment with my primary care physician to begin getting to the bottom of this. I continue to hold out hope that the discomfort is the result of some bizarre muscle tweak or pull...
Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
