My running took a definite hit last week when I had a nasty cold that promptly migrated to my lungs. This always happen when I have a cold, but I’m guessing taking call and not getting any sleep certainly made everything worse. I was forced to take pretty much all of last week off as I couldn’t speak a sentence without coughing, let alone jog down the street. I finally went to the doctor on Friday where I got antibiotics (probably not necessary, but I’ll talk about that another time…), advair for my asthma and robitussin with codeine. The combination of all these meds and being able to get plenty of rest because my current rotation is ridiculously easy has spurred my recovery. I was even able to run a race on Sunday (full race report to follow). I took Monday off since I was sore from the race and managed to get up this morning before work for a beautiful (and very hilly!) run. I’m very glad to finally get back to some serious (?) running!
