I don't know what was with me today, but somehow I convinced myself I wasn't sick anymore. That's definitely not true. Maybe it was because my head no longer felt like it was going to explode. Which is still a good thing. Well, I was in the mood to see how fast I could run a mile. I was hoping for sub 5:40 but shouldve known there was no way. I at least expected sub 5:50. I ran to Liberty and went to the 2 mile mark. That way I could start with a slight uphill and end with a slight downhill. I got 6:14. That's so slow! I was really disappointed. Right when I finished I started to cough which proved I really am not better, but once that was over I decided to try again. Half mile was a 3:08 so I quit. Really discouraging. Granted it was cold, im still sick and slightly out of shape, and the air was bad, but I want to be able to run well again, and don't want anymore excuses. I ran back to the drinking fountain and went home via 1300 S. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to try to do that kind of a workout, but it was nice to at least change it up from just runs.
