Kerry's Running Blog

Still recovering from weekend illness. Saturday's sore throat and cough was largely gone by Sunday morning only to be replaced by a fever, lethargy, nausea and sore joints. Just slept much of the day. Felt quite a bit better this morning, but generally weak as I haven't been able to eat much of anything since Saturday. Saw the doctor this morning for a general checkup. My pulse was way up (67), but my blood pressure looked good (102/70). Did blood work and will decide where to go from there. I should be back to running tomorrow. 

Finally feeling well enough for a run this morning. Left the house just after 6:00 am  under clear skies (temperature 22F, RH 70). My legs felt good and my lungs seemed to handle the cold air OK. Started feeling a big sickly after a mile, but kept going and even picked it up a bit towards the end. Average pace 9:15. Coughing after the run was fairly minimal. Felt some muscle spasms in my lower as I was taking clothes out of the dryer, but able to walk fairly normally. They called with my blood work yesterday and said that everything was normal  (cholesterol was 159) and to just keep doing whatever I was doing.

Highland Glen loop this morning. My back was still a bit tender this morning and my lungs were a bit congested, but was glad to get out. I'm huffing and puffing a bit even at a fairly slow pace, but every day is a little better.
