Last week, I posted that I was not feeling well and should I run or not. I got some inspirational comments about powering through it. So that is what I did. I ran 3 times last week but could not shake this cold/cough. At the urging of J, I finally went to the doctor and found out I had bronchitis. It was actually pretty surprising to me since I did not feel that bad expect my horrible cough. The doctor advised rest for a week since my lungs were very irritated.
Tomorrow is the day I can finally run again. For so many months, I looked for excuses to work out. Now I am completely bummed I can't funny how things change. I cant wait to hit the pavement again. I do worry that I have lost come fitness.... guess we will see tomorrow.
Have you been force to take a rest period from running? Did you notice any loss of fitness?
It's a toss up for me: sometimes I am pleasantly surprised that I'm stronger after taking a few days off. Other times i'm really sluggish.
ReplyDeleteHope your run tomorrow goes well.
i love working out and am rather annoyed by rest days :) even though they are good. I agree about feeling a little sluggish initially, but your fitness returns really quick
ReplyDeleteI think you will be fine and invigorated...there's bound to be a little lost fitness, but you'll be good to go soon!! You're dedicated!
