My Lungs Were Burning
Over the last six years I have had four knee operations. Needless to say my cardio is not at its all time best. Now that’s an understatement, it’s down right terrible.
I’ve continued to lift weights, and have increased my strength over the same time period. Over the last four days I have started to jog.
My body is in shock, when I’m running my lungs are on fire and I feel like an old man. I can’t help but think of a time when I good run like the wind. Okay, maybe not like the wind but right behind it.
The first day was the worst; I didn’t get very far at all. Day two wasn’t much better. Day three saw some improvement, not much, but some. Day four my lungs were still burning but I was able to run twice as far as the previous three days combined.
It’s going to take a couple of months, but I can see myself running at a good pace for a good distance.
If your sitting back thinking you’re battling your fitness level all by yourself, your not, I’m right there with you.
