Notes:
- Gah, I feel like the older I get the more careful I have to be with what I eat for lunch before a 4:00 pm run. Added to the list of things not to eat: Italian fake meats sausage (and most fake meats, and anything with tomatoes).
- My running week started out so great, then the cold I was worried I was getting finally showed up. I definitely could have powered through and run outside, but it was also during some really cold and windy days, and since I was already coughing like crazy, I decided it was NOT worth it. I was very happy to wake up Sunday feeling well enough to run!
- Did anyone else listen to the Ali On The Run podcast Love on the Run Week this week? She had interviews (one each day, Monday-Friday) with five professional runner couples, and I really enjoyed them!
Good for you for listening to your body…definitely not worth it to push through and ignore it when it’s sick…
It’s not! Especially when the windchill is negative whatever! Yuck!
