Of Mice and Marathons

Off.

Still very sick. Slept most of the day. Trying to decide if I’m going to cancel classes and meetings tomorrow.

Off.

Cancelled classes and meetings. Slept in through the morning. Layed around a bit during the day. Watched a decent portion of Die Hard with a Vengance. It was like an old fashioned sick day, which I cannot recall the last time I took. Feeling better by still foggy and floaty. Megan is leaving for a conference for about a week and I am working from home, so I will try to get up and run with her as she is running before leaving in the early afternoon.

Off.

Still sick. I was going to run with Megan in the morning but didn't get up.

Off. 

Felt somewhat better, but still a little rough. It was warm and seasonable, which was frustrating.

Off.

Can't tell if today was better, worse, or the same. Looked into signing up for Sugarloaf about 2-3 weeks after Glass City, but it is full. Didn't sign up for Beach to Beacon this year. The race was pretty much ruined for me last year with the incident with my father.

Might try running a little tomorrow depending on feel. The whole idea has been not to unnecessarily prolong the illness. With this type of sickness, I have found that best. I did some nasal rinsing last night and today and took some Mucinex. Today I had a nasty cough that I thought was going to bust the mucus, but it's just stuck.

Noon: 8.3 miles, averaged 10:00. HR 141.

Running wasn’t a great idea. HR about 20 beats higher than normal. Don’t feel that much better. More time off.

Off.

Stayed up late last night and slept through the morning and most of lunch. Feeling better congestion wise, but my head is still off. Took a long nap not too long after I got up. Pretty frustrated as it is hard to get work done, now that I have an extra 16 hours of week while I am not running.

Megan will be back late tomorrow. I am going out to eat by myself. Wasn't going to spend the money, but I need to get out.
