Chilly Half Marathon Training: Day 24

I bet you thought I feel off my training.  Well, I did a bit, but it was because I got sick.  I caught a nasty cold that knocked me out.  It last about a week and half.  The other part of the two weeks I missed was because I let Swim Academy take over my life again.  I'm feeling better and Swim Academy is done until after the first of the year.

I went out for what was supposed to be 5 miles.  It ended up being under 2 miles.  The cold air and my lungs did not mix.  About 10 years ago I had whopping cough and it damaged my lungs.  While the running has really strengthened them quiet a bit, sometimes the cold causes bad coughing fits.  That's what happened this morning.  At least I got out and ran though.  I wasn't happy about the coughing though.

Tomorrow I'm in the gym.  Friday I have a run scheduled and Sunday it's a long run.  I am really enjoying running in the snow.  I just had to get over that cold.  88 days until my race!  Let's do this!
