I've had a nice chest cold going for the past few days and have been trying to sleep it off. I took Nyquil on Monday night and felt like I had a hangover until about noon yesterday, so even though I slept well, I'm still not sure the tradeoff was worth it. Anyway, I didn't sleep great last night due to mid-back pain (we have a super-cushy pillow-top mattress that my wife is crazy about, but which doesn't always agree with me), but decided I needed to at least get the legs moving for a minute. It hadn't really started raining yet, so Maja was willing to go out. She wasn't very happy, though, when the rain started coming down after a mile or so. My lungs were full of junk, I got a couple of blisters from the Nike Frees (happens about every other time with them), and my back didn't feel great, but I'm glad I managed to get out. Hopefully this is the tail end of the cold and I can get back to doing a little speed next week. |
