Today was supposed to be day 5 of my "run everyday for 30 days" challenge.. and OF COURSE I wake up this morning.. sick.. Last night I had a really bad cough and knowing what my husband just got over.. I was dreading this morning.. This morning I woke up with a full blown sinus infection. I have not (yet) been diagnosed by a doctor.. however, I get these enough -- every 10-12 weeks -- that I know exactly what I'm dealing with. I'm currently toughing it out at work right now, hoping they will be able to spare me so that I can go to bed.
I have been struggling all day with whether or not I was going to run tonight. My dilemma is that, I committed to doing this challenge and I WANT to finish it.. On the other hand, I know that I need to get better to avoid feeling worse. Also, I have a horrible cough and I'm having issues breathing clearly without putting myself further into a coughing fit -- so obviously running would make this harder. I just keep going back and forth.. Part of me keeps saying - I only have to go out and do 1/2 a mile.. 1/2 a mile and it'll be over in a little over 6 minutes -- I might even feel BETTER after going out for a run. The more sane part of me is telling me to just go to bed when I eventually get out of work, that it is just a challenge and that I can start over once I am feeling better.
