Pressure

According to scientists we encounter the weight or pressure of a boiling ball on ever square inch of our bodies...and, when healthy, our internal pressure is enough to keep the system at an equallibrium. However I theorize that when you are sick, and suffering severe nasal pressure it feels as if the pressure internally succombs to burden and the multiple small bones in your head are forced to bear that pressure, hense headaches....horrible headaches that are centered around a person's nose. (and now mine)

Aphrine nasal spray is some serious stuff...after just one use, I can breathe free and clear again....but the pressure still remains... residual? is my body stressed over the constant strain of trying to keep it all together, and this headache is mearly a "phantom"?.

I digress....

Last night while in the midst of this sickness (call it what you want, FLU, cold...strangest thing is that the dog also got sick), I went to the Y and ran for an hour... more like a strange shuffle between a fact awkward walk and a moderately paced jog...my goal...that in 10 weeks time, I can run the entire 5 miles continually in less then an hour...so yesterday, I ran just under 4 in an hour... while on the machine next to me, is my dear sweet hubbie, who's legs are a good 6-12 inches longer, as he gracefully runs/walks for 30 minutes and does just over 2.6 miles... have I mentioned how I really hate him...sure he ran track and cross country when he was in school, and his muscle memory remembers the times when he ran a 6 min mile.... still.... however I will say this, it would be a great time had by all if he would run with us..not WITH us, but in the same race, and we can all talk about our experiences over some good beer and food.... something to share,....silly? probably so....

But I feel the pressure...10 weeks....12 min miles... 10 weeks...
