Well, got to go on my first run in a week today. Boy did it feel good. Thought I may have gone back to running too soon. And I may have, time will tell. However, over the past week I have experienced unrelenting coughing, sore throat, constant flem, sore ribs, sore abs, and sore legs.
I actually went back to work yesterday, albeit for only 3 hours. Today I got to work all day, and I got a bit exhausted around 2:00pm. Got home and forced myself out the door. Boy did I feel so much better upon my return. I have not felt this good in over a week. Thank God for running.
Couple things I have found out about myself over the past week: 1. When I do not run I become almost unbearable, 2. When I do not run for a week my personal image of myself takes a hit, and 3. Being this sick, after NEVER having been sick for more than 2 days in a row in my life, really allowed me to reflect on how I treat my body.
There are positives to not being able to run: got in some reading, spent more time with the boys, and rested my body (which I would not have done on my own accord).
SURE AM GLAD I AM BACK.
Now I can get back to the task I had last week: Watch my new RUNNING movie and post a semi-critique of the movie.

Glad you were able to get back to the running horse. My wife always tells me that when I don't get to run in about three days in a row I get very irritable.
I live only about an hour away from Des Moines. My sister lives in Urbandale so I plan on just spending the night at her place the night before so my dad and I have less of a drive in the morning before the race. Did you ever run it when you lived in Waukee?
Isn't it great to get back on the road? I ran through a cold and I swear it was the best thing for me. I can only imagine what it's like to be a sick principal. Ugh.
have a great weekend!
Yay for you!!!
I ran when I had a cold and I felt amazingly powerful.
Hope you are healed up!!
Glad you are well again and back on the road. I hope my recovery goes as quickly as yours - I just got bronchitis. So I feel your pain (literally) - being sick SUCKS.
Yay! I'm glad you're back and feeling better!
Glad you're feeling better!
How has the running been going? Everything been holding up good?
