Oh my goodness! Today I felt so much better! The sore throat is pretty much history and the cough, while still there, is deeper and less persistent (read: frequent) than it was yesterday. I guess four hour naps and Hitchcock movies will cure just about anything. On a totally unrelated note (that is, to get back to running), when I went back to work after my lunch break (which I used to finish Paul's Christmas present rather than going to the gym) it was beautiful and about 40 degrees. However, when I left work four hours later, there were several inches of snow on the ground and there were huge flakes coming down. It was like a wonderful, beautiful dream. So, of course, I couldn't resist and had to get a run, albeit a short one, in while it was perfect snow running weather. My first snow run of the year and it couldn't have gone better. Okay, maybe if I had had some company it could have been better, but it was still pretty good. I could still feel the cold in my lungs a little while I was running, but I didn't cough until I got home. Winter is finally here. Now when is it going to be over? |
