I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!  Another week of being sick.  Stomach flu 2 weeks ago and now this annoying cough.  I spend every night out on the couch so I don't wake my hubby from choking and coughing all night.  I knew teaching 1st grade would come with a lot of germs but this year has been especially germy.  

As I sat on my couch this morning, holding my head in my hands, thinking how all this coughing has got be good for my abs...I made a decision.  I'm doing my long run today.  I didn't care if I died while out on the road...at least I would die while trying to live.  

I set out with my reflective vest and my new headband that sports a beautiful green flower :) I must have looked great because I literally stopped traffic....really.  I had to cross a two lane road and both lanes of traffic stopped to let me go.  Must have been the headband :)

Cold and freezing drizzle but it felt great to feel alive.  Only coughed a couple of times during the run.  Time flew by.  As soon as I stopped running the cough came back, but I didn't care because I finally felt alive again!  

AP:  10:38  :)
