Aptly named

I went to the gym today since it was raining/snowing/sleeting out. I ran 2 miles and then decided I'd stretch before running a third.  The empty basketball court called to me as I walked to the stretching area. I went inside with a jump rope and alternated suicides, jumping rope, sit-ups. I lay on the floor between sets convulsing for air. I completed 4 sets.

Then I went back to the treadmill and tried to run. Here's why they're called sucicides: you are unable to do anything else afterwards. I couldn't do the 3rd mile, my legs were spent!

It was nice to do some sprinting and change it up. My legs felt strong, but my lungs were burning. Which I hope prepares me for running outside soon.
