So I hit an unexpected road bump in my training schedule: Bronchitis. I returned from a beautiful weeklong vacation in Spain with a nasty case of coughing and a sore throat and I was totally out of commission. I was so bummed! I was looking forward to running again and getting back on my regular schedule, but sickness got in the way. I figured it's better to get totally back 100 percent healthy, rather than push myself over the edge and get even sicker and not be able to run for an even longer period of time. Missing a week? I can deal. Missing it forever? Not so much. So while it was a beautiful week for running, I was stuck inside. But yesterday I finally felt healthy enough to sustain running -- so I headed to the gym and went for it. And when I hopped back on the treadmill and got my running regime started again, I loved it. And even better, I felt healthy doing it. Back to work!
