Today’s Run: \u00a0Rest day~again!<\/p>\n
I have learned something over the course of this cold I have had. \u00a0Breathing is a luxury!<\/p>\n
I came down with a cold, actually I caught it from my husband, on Christmas Day. \u00a0We were over doing the gift exchange at my parents house when, Bam! \u00a0there it was! \u00a0My throat was sore, my eyes itchy and my nose was stuffy as well as my ears. \u00a0I had a doozie.<\/p>\n
So, ever since Tuesday, I have done absolutely nothing! \u00a0Well, almost nothing. \u00a0Thursday I went to the gym and lifted for an hour~desperate in the idea that I might be able to exercise the cold away. \u00a0Nope. \u00a0Did not work. \u00a0All it did was make me tired and more achy. \u00a0That idea was a bust.<\/p>\n
Every since the gym fiasco, I have laid pretty low. \u00a0Made a meal here and there. Let the dog in and out, fed the cat (and the dog), I could not do the laundry because, if you remember yesterday’s post, the dryer is broken. \u00a0I did not even sweep the floors or anything!<\/p>\n
Why am I being so well behaved!?! \u00a0Well, I have a race next Saturday and I have been training for it since November. It would be a shame to miss the race after all of that training. It is a half marathon-HM (we have talked about it before in this blog). \u00a0A HM, to refresh your memory, is 13.1 miles and there is no way I can run that far with a cold! \u00a0So~I have been “good”. \u00a0I have let people peel me grapes, as it were, and I have lived the life of an invalid. For three days.<\/p>\n
Then, about an hour ago, a wonderful thing happened. I discovered that I could breathe through my nose again! \u00a0Oh joy~Oh rapture! \u00a0This was good news!!! \u00a0As long as this does not decide to go into my chest (and my husband’s cold did not) \u00a0I should be good for next Saturday’s race. \u00a0Cross your fingers and wish me well!!!<\/p>\n
