I have been a bad little blogger, but I really have nothing to post about because I've been so sick.

I had started feeling better last week and I was so sick of feeling lazy so I decided to try an easy two miler just to see how it felt. My legs felt great. My lungs, not so much. Turns out a nasty cold will seriously diminish one's lung capacity and apparently my inability to shoot an effective snot rocket ended up causing me to gasp for air for much of the run.

Then of course I got more sick than I had been. So it was back to no running.

Today I was fed up with it again and wanted to earn a few more points for HBBC so I went out for a four miler. This time my legs were feeling pretty heavy around mile 2.5. I stopped and walked for a few minutes and then went with a R4/W1 for the rest of the time.

Again, same chest problems as before. It was really hard to breath so I got several side stitches and had to hock a few loogies so i wouldn't choke (sorry that's probably TMI) Suffice it to say, I did not look pretty on my run today.

I still managed to do OK in the HBBC. I snuck some cardio in here and there, mostly in the form of walking to and from work and on most of my errands and playing Wii with my cousin. Those things didn't really seem to bother my disease. I'll have to tally up my points tomorrow to make sure I'm not missing anything. I'm sure I didn't do great because I was sick, but I was happy that I managed to work in some activity or stretching where I could.
