The word for today is:
Main Entry: gasp
Pronunciation: \ˈgasp\
Function: verb
Etymology: Middle English; akin to Old Norse geispa to yawn
Date: 14th century intransitive verb
1 : to catch the breath convulsively and audibly (as with shock)
2 : to breathe laboriously
Poor Sherene had to listen to definition #1 today. I probably should have ramped the speed back on the treadmill, but I’m stubborn.
The good news is, I feel much better today than I did Monday. The bad news is I can’t help feeling like 3 miles is such a cop out. I can rationalize it by saying that I didn’t have enough time (Samantha’s gymnastics next door start at 10:00, and I drop Veronica off at school at 8:45) but I spent a good 20 minutes futzing with the incline, “warming up”, and searching for my lost sweat rag (which was in the car). One thing that I am excellent at: procrastination.

At least I didn’t have to listen to/smell any gasp without the “p” — ever been on a treadmill next to someone with digestive issues? In that case 3 miles would be a great accomplishment, nothing short of miraculous.
I think you are doing great! I’m just so happy for you that you are back in action. Get out that cape!
