I pretty much feel like a freight train is running through my chest. (Yes, my chest, not my neck- as thanks to Steph and her mom I have found out that coughing is indeed not in your neck as I had originally mentioned.) I've been coughing like crazy for the last 3 days. 3 days off of running, 3 days of Mucinex and cough drops, and last night was so ugly that Mr Buckeye had to bring me cough medicine without me asking and make me drink it.
It's been a nice long weekend and I'm super bummed to see it go. Friday night was spent watching She's out of My League (hilarious!) and Saturday was spent at the pool for me and golfing for the hubs. Finishing the night out watching fireworks and having drinks on a patio under the stars. Last night was hanging out with some friends and we had dinner at a cute little restaurant in Hyde Park- Arthurs. Cute, small, good food, good company. it was a nice time.
Today I'm trying to battle my will to run. I don't want to make it worse. But I don't want to fall off schedule, I'm already 1 run behind. It's a battle of wills, who knows what will win?
I do know that I'll be spending the rest of the day doing a myriad of things- possibly a grocery store run, some pool time, and of course Monday Knit Night!
Mr Buckeye is heading to the golf course again only this time with my dad, uncle, and grandpa. Should be interesting since it's approx one million degrees outside.
Suckers.
summer colds are the worst! If you feel antsy, maybe a long walk (same distance as you would run but at an easy pace)would be a good compromise? You need to keep your energy to get better, but a long easy stroll may even give your immune system a boost :) I hope you feel better soon!
