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 :) |
