Today's run

Went for a run; just got back. This time I carried two 2 lb weights, one in each hand. I only weigh about 130lbs myself, so that's the same as gaining 3% of my body weight overnight. That may not sound like much, and maybe it isn't, but it sure felt different. Not to mention those two doughnuts I had for breakfast, and the complete absence of water in my morning's diet (unless you count my two cups of java).

Those 4 miles were TOUGH today. It felt pretty good, but it was tough to keep my body moving. I expected to feel it in my arms, but I didn't expect the overall difference of carrying extra weight.
