The plan was to run three times while I was there - Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. All shorter runs because I hate the treadmill but hey, three short runs are better than none, right?
I felt brutal missing my long run that weekend but knew I was getting home the following Friday so wasn't missing two. That's something.
Well, the one thing I didn't factor in was a wicked awful sunburn on my first full day in the Mexican sun. Crazy bad.
I'm actually surprised that I made it to the gym at all on Sunday - how I put a sports bra on then ran for 3k is now beyond me because I'm still recovering from the burn. Like, I have to wear a bandaid on a certain part of it, that's how badly damaged my skin is.
I wore sunscreen, I swear!
Anyway, I made it through Sunday's run but didn't really wear a bra after that because it hurt too much so no way was I adding the friction of bouncing up and down for 30 minutes into the equation. Especially since the suit I was wearing during the sunburn day pulled up at the top so it wasn't even like my bra would sit on the white/unburned areas. No dice - directly on the burn. Sigh.
So all things considered this 3k was pretty decent. My phone did a factory reset the day before so I couldn't listen to any of my music which was a pain but I made it through.
