First missed race...

It was the GE 10k run yesterday. I signed up for the 5km run hoping to use it as a mid-training milestone for the 10k run that I've signed up for in Dec. For the first time, I didn't go for a race that I signed up for despite not training for it. I typically don't train and then go ahead and do the race anyhow.

I would have done it except that I really haven't exercised in a year (since before I was preggers) and I'm not sure how my body will react to a sudden jump in physical exertion. I'd been planning on doing a couple of short runs to lead up to it but the damn haze got in the way. In addition, I've been experiencing dizzy spells where all of a sudden the room spins and I can't focus. Which is scary and was enough to make me think that pushing through the run was a bad idea.

So anyhow, I'm disappointed that I didn't do the race. But beyond that, I'm concerned that these dizzy spells are a sign of something bigger. Bleah. Seeing doc later. Hope it's nothing a few vitamins can't fix.
