Last night I got hit with a major head cold and a touch of the flu, I am not feeling good, so no running today. I will see how I feel in the mourning tomorrow and go from there, my whole body has no strength and I feel like someone has been beating with a bat. I hate kidding sick, hopefully I will feel like running in the mourning.
I decided when I got home today from work that I needed to go out and complete my run even though I felt like crap, I just remembered my brother last year going through radiationfor cancer and I thought a little head cold is no reason to not follow through with my workout. Today was a recovery run and splits went as follows: 9:08, 8:20, 8:17, 8:11, 8:24, 8:19, 8:18, total time was 59:03 with an average pace of 8:28. My legs felt like marshmellows when I got done but my spirits were up for following through, I will probably pay for it tomorrow though.
I also did 30 minutes of weight training on my lower body and some core training as well. I do feel better cold wise but I feel pretty run down, I hope I can recover fast enough for tomorrow mournings run. |
