While I was feeling a little off the night before the ChocoLoco 5k, I thought it was just nerves. But no — I came down with a really bad cold and cough late Saturday. So I spent all of Sunday binge watching TV shows, drinking hot tea and stayed in my pajamas. It helped some but not enough. I stayed home from work on Monday too.
Tuesday was my normal day for a run but I decided to skip it, since I still wasn’t feeling great. This was the first time that I’ve consciously taken more than two or three days off in a row since I started training in mid-October. I hope that it doesn’t set me back too much.
After work on Wednesday, I decided that maybe a little exercise couldn’t hurt. I did a 35 minute workout, alternating 3 minutes walking with 2 minute jogs but Boy was I out of breath! I have a few days until my running clinic on Saturday so I’m going to try and get in one more short workout.
