Trying to keep up with you

Went to the InstaCare yesterday and after waiting 1 1/2 hours the doctor checked out my symptoms.  Apparently I have an upper respitory infection.  So I am on antibiotics and Mucinex.  The Mucinex really did me in today.  It tightens your chest up immediately.  I struggled to get air into my legs during the whole run.  So I will stop taking the Mucinex since the cure is worse than the disease and just take the antibiotics. Other than that it was a perfect day.  Tried to changing my running stride to shorter strides after reading "Born to Run".  Lets see if there is a Tarahumara Indian in me.

Easy pace on a treadmill.  I didn't have time to get a run in at lunch.  Ended up going to Ruth's in Emmigration Canyon with a client for lunch.  I was planning to run outside after work but it started raining and I didn't have a rain jacket.  I hate the treadmill but the thought of not getting a run in was worse.

Av pace.: 8:20

Pushed on the way up City Creek, to Stuart's Crack, and maintianed a moderate pace on the way down.  Chest still feels tight but it has improved over the last two days. 

Big game this afternoon (for the soccer fans).  Argentina vs Uruguay.  Argentina has to win to get into the World Cup.  Being half Argentine and having grown up in Buenos Aires a game like this is at par with a national holiday (if we win that is).

very short on time today.  Managed to get out on this beautiful fall day and run up City Creek.  Ran a good portion with Dick at a slow pace, which felt good.
