Overall
So, I'm in my new prospective school area. Thought I'd make some new friends and go for a run with the VT Tri Club that "welcomes people of all abilities." They're really nice, but they're all really young, male, fast runners. I felt really old, fat, female, and embarrassed. I had to snail-crawl walk while I was out with them because I simply couldn't breathe! That's never happened before. It was like I was trying to breathe through a wet towel over my mouth! Maybe it's the humidity here? Or maybe I was just oxygen-starved? Who knows, but it was brutal! I'm determined to run a lot more while I'm here and to really get moving on these hills.
