Today I went for my first run at lunch in a long, long time. Not that I've been running much at home either, so it's not super easy to get back into the swing of things. Perhaps if I had not decided to go up the stairs behind the Centre Block my chest and head wouldn't have felt like they were going to explode. But I discovered that my old route around there is less accessible since they put up all kinds of security fencing. Now I just have to remember to bring my phone so that I can get an accurate timing (because I'm too lazy to do splits with my watch). My current time was slow and off because being just a couple of blocks away from Wellington means that it's a lot longer before my run "starts" and it is sort of weird when it "ends".
Even with a pounding headache for the rest of the day I felt great. I had forgotten how good the high is.
