A cold won't get the better of me.

Well I guess Sunday's 10 mile run & Mondays 3 mile run caught up with me in the end........ Tuesday night I could feel my throat starting to scratch & I was extremely exhausted..... uhoh! I knew it was more than likely the start of a cold. I woke up yesterday morning for work & could not get up. With a sore throat & a snotty nose, the best place for me was bed! I spent the remainder of the day asleep in bed or on the couch, dosed up on Uni Flu, praying that it wouldn't develop into a full blown cold or I could kiss a couple of weeks training goodbye, and quite possibly the marathon. It seemed to work a treat anyway as I was awoken at 5pm by Phil and after a couple of hours to wake up properly, I was back in the park doing my scheduled half hour run. We ran the same course as Monday in Phoenix Park so it was another 3 miles for us. I think being out in the open air worked wonders. I felt & still feel great. We're back running tonight too. Heidi is joining us again for another 3 mile run. I'm looking forward to it!
