Sock tans

We went to the oval today. We did 8 laps warmup, 4 laps speed changes. Then we went backwards to the 800 start. Workout was 6 x 800s, I was supposed to hit 2:50-2:55. My hip started to hurt pretty bad in the second one. My times went 2:52, 3:04? 3:12ish? And 3:31, then I dropped out because I was really discouraged that now my times were above 7 minute pace, and my hip was killing me.  Why is it that I only felt my hip on Saturday warming up for and during the 800 and all of a sudden it kills? I hopped in the hot tub when I got home and rolled out my hip. I got a really bad headache about an hour after I got home so there went my Monday.

Today was just an easy recovery type run. I got barely any sleep last night because of my headache. I was really tired to start out which didn't help at all. We went to the cemetery and did a lap, then 5 hills, a lap, 5 more hills, another lap and finish that one then back to the school where I added on to 8. I started to have an asthma attack when we got to the cemetery, so I had to stop to try to control it. Let me tell you, asthma is not fun. I did 5 hills then had to stop again at the top of the hill to control my breathing, then once more the second time doing the hills. I think I stopped 3 times. My mom thinks I have the flu, so yay. No not really, I hate being sick.

Day three (or four?) of the flu. Good news though, I think I'm finally getting better. After three days of no change I finally woke up feeling slightly better. Maybe it was because my fever's gone... :) I actually ate a full meal for dinner, I sort of lost my appetite and only had a few things to eat here and there. That's a good sign, right? Actually I still didn't have an appetite but knew I needed to eat so I forced it down. But still. I really have felt so exhausted these past couple days that even going up the stairs was a chore. That changed a bit today too, I feel more alive. Maybe I can run tomorrow, but we'll see how I feel. I do have to say, it's getting really boring in here.

I hope everyone did well at the meet today!

Today after reorganizing my room (I moved the furniture around because I wanted a change of scenery) I decided I felt good enough to go for a run. I did the loop Eleanor and I run in the mornings. It actually didn't suck as much as I thought it would. It was probably really slow but I was just happy to go outside and actually run. By mile one my throat was burrning but I didn't care. I believe today was the winter series 5k, which I was looking forward to, but oh well, I hope everyone did well and had fun!
