The hissy fit is done and I am now 3 cocktail dresses, 2 pair of shoes, and 1 blowdryer richer. I am really happy that I have rested and given this yucky cold time to exit. And today was beautiful because it marked the first day that I have not had to live with a box of klennex. It's the small things that make me happy.
However most importantly, I can also say I am 3.1 miles back in the game.
Today I went for my first real run since being sick. Boy did I need today's run, I was starting to get stir crazy. I logged a 5K in 40:13 which equaled a 13:01 pace. Not bad for the sick chic. I tried to walk a 5K yesterday but I forgot about the importance of proper fueling and Kenny made me sit after 2.63 miles. Needless to say I ate before today's run and felt much better.
Now it is time to get ready for the Sweetheart run this weekend. I am still going to live with my nyquil bottle for the next few days just to be certain I am on the road to recovery but at least I can put my running shoes to good use now.
