kleenexes, affrin, tylenol, etc.

Here I am!

Ok, so this isn't actually me, but this represents me. Today I was scheduled for my first speed workout and I cannot breathe through my nose. I can barely speak and I'm coughing a lot. This is my third sinus infection this winter! Second year is the craziest year in school and so I got a flu shot thinking my immune system would likely compromised severely most of the cold & flu season. Well, I haven't gotten the flu, but my sinuses have taken the brunt of my broken immune system.

I will try tomorrow. I have SIM man lab (remember the simulation patients on Grey's Anatomy? "How did you pass your intern exam!?" yeah that thing) tomorrow but nothing else, so I'm going to attempt running the 5 miles, even if I don't get the actual speed work in there.

Weather should be up in the 40s for Sunday's long run! Woo!

Run on!

GLORIOUS weather

Today I woke up for the second day in a row with an insane head cold. But after 8-4 at school sitting on my butt in lecture, I forced myself outside. We had 45 degrees here in Omaha, so I headed out to run my scheduled 2 miler. I wore my capri length tights and a light weight fleece and I got a little warm! Not enough to take the fleece off, but I did remove my thumbs from the thumb holes in the sleeves. Anyhoo, it was a great run. Hilly (that's Omaha running for you) and there was a 3 block stretch there where the lovely residents didn't shovel their sidewalk (even tho the blizzard was Friday!) so I had to slush through it and come home with wet socks but overall, it was enjoyable.

If this head cold / sinus infection doesn't knock it off, I'm gonna get pissed. Arrgh! I've got a 5 mile speed workout Thursday and 6 miles Sunday - I think I'm going to go to Lake Zorinsky for that one.

How's everyone else's running going?

Run on!
