Breathing

When I first start running (after about 5 minutes of fast walking to warm up), it takes a while for my breathing to get regulated, so I'm a bit huffy and puffy. I wonder if I'm red in the face as well. I usually get red when I exercise, even if I'm not overdoing it, and have told people who exercise with me (class instructors, etc.) not to worry about it. Since I run outside, I hope that the random people who see me on my route don't think I'm about to keel over! Eventually my breathing does calm down and I settle in for the rest of my run, but I suspect I stay red most of the distance anyway.

  1. I thought that princesses weren't supposed to sweat! Not very lady like in the least. ;0)

  2. LOL! Yeah, I certainly do NOT look like the typical ideal of a princess while running. :)
