Sicky Poo

I'm sick.  Again.  This is really starting to get old.  Of course looking back over my week, maybe I'm not being as kind to myself as I should have been.

Wednesday - Hard training run outside on the Knoxville Green way, despite tickle cough.
Thursday - Cough moved into my chest - took day off from exercise, went to work
Friday - Took day off from exercise AND work
Saturday - REST
Sunday - Skipped church, but went for a walk
Monday - Worked, did elliptical at lunch
Tuesday - Went to the allergist who diagnosed my allergies as out of control, gave me steroid meds (nose spray & inhaler) upped my allergy pill dosage, and gave me a breathing treatment.
Wednesday - Ran 4 miles worth of intervals at lunch on the treadmill, 6 miles outside after work (yeah, I'm that dumb)
Thursday/Friday - Worked, but took day off from exercise
Saturday - Mud run (outside.  in a field.  full of stuff I'm allergic to)
Sunday - REST (if you count playing with an 8 year old and a 4 year old as rest)
Monday - 5 mile run.  Outside.  In the park.  Through some grass.  That's I'm allergic to)
Tuesday - Day off exercise AND work.  Worried about my 11 miler this weekend.


My half marathon is in 4 weeks.  Any suggestions how I can easy back into things without pissing my body off??

  2. Take some Zicam. I take the chewable kind, but there is also a tablet that dissolves in your mouth. It's basically zinc, and it helps chase away colds.

    Hope you feel better soon!!

  4. Feel better soon!!! It sounds like a lot of your crud is allergy related. Maybe try a netti pot to help get the crud out of your sinuses.

  5. I hate allergies! Maybe you need to run inside if there's any inside tracks around you.
