OK, so granted I live in California
were the weather is very nice compared to other states. If you are a runner in
another state, you are probably used to running in cold weather. I mean real
cold weather like, rain, snow, and wind kind of weather. I am I California
girl, I like the colder weather, but my lungs and nose do not.
As I near the end of my half marathon training and the big even nears, I have developed I chest cold with a very deep cough. I know it is because I am such a heavy breather when I run and the weather has been on the cooler side for California. I also ran a night race on January 3, 2015 and it was very cold that night.
So in order to guarantee my lungs will be up for the 13.1 I went to the doctor got cough medication that was very strong and made me very tired. I stopped running for a week, and even let my wife do some weird stuff called Reiki on me to see if it helps.
Not sure, what it was but I am finally feeling better, and ran 3.0 miles on the hamster wheel (aka. treadmill) at a very slow pace to see how my lungs felt. They did well, If I can just keep the momentum going in doors for a few more days, I will be able to run 13.1 although not likely at the pace I would have liked to.
Oh, well there will be another 13.1 I hope I do not catch anything for the summer half, like measles or any other kindergarten germ my son brings home. Those germs love me!
Cheers!! (Me raising my tbs of cough syrup)
