PSA: jogging + 10 lbs = brutal
holy crap. no matter how well off i think i am physically, i clearly overestimated my jogging ability today. because i've been feeling like a jealous fatty the last few weeks since i haven't been going to a gym for over two months now, i decided to push myself a little bit today. jen's got two handheld 5 lb. weights for p90x, that i decided to carry while i went for my typical 1.5 mile jog around the 'hood.
holy crap, were my eyes bigger than my expectations. not only did i not run all 1.5 miles, probably a quarter mile was spent walking because i was so gassed from the additional 10 lbs. of weight i was carrying, and at one point, an uncomfortable feeling in my right bicep made me have to hold both weights in my left hand. yes, i'm aware of the masturbation jokes this sets me up for, but i'm not dumb enough to ignore physical warning signs. clearly, in the grand perspective, an additional 10 lbs. of weight is brutal for me to haul while doing my normal routine. i swear, running 10Ks weren't nearly as strenuous as this felt.
