One more day off I think

I spent part of yesterday coughing up a lung, and my wheezing is still quite pronounced this morning, so there's no 20 miler in the mix this morning. As my fellow blogger AZ reminded me yesterday the old adage - "if it in the chest, ya gotta rest." So I think I'll take one more day here and get a little better. Of course, it has me concerned - my training has just really gone to pot in the last three weeks. I think I'll try five or six easy mile this afternoon and based on the way I feel. put some miles in in the morning tomorrow.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

  1. Do you think part of the symptoms are from your hike?

    I hope you're feeling better, soon!

  2. Yup, from the neck up you can go about your normal activities. Neck down? Take it easy, big guy! ;)

  3. Not too many here in Vegas don't have colds right now. As The Eagles say, take it easy. I got a nasty case of bronchitis once running with a cold that lasted 3 weeks or more. You don't want that pre LB Marathon. Take Care.

  4. i think when you get sick,it's your body's way of telling you it needs rest. So don't worry about the fitness, you've been such a good consistent runner for so long, it's not going to be down by much.

    And isn't it better it happens now THAN on race day?!
