Fit2Fat2Fit Blog: The month off

I’m participating in Paul Lacoste’s summer training.  In the past month, I have mainly run to stay fit — well, except for last week. I had flu/bronchitis/cold or something that grew snot in my lungs. I was achy and miserable for a week.  And I haven’t run since the 21st of April (when I ran 13.14 miles while feeling miserable.)  This morning, I got my butt out of bed and I ran four miles.

Oy.

My lungs felt like they were filled with snot-colored concrete. I wheezed, coughed and sputtered.  I felt like I hadn’t run in years.

But I did it.

Training starts on the 7th and I have a lot of work to do to get back into good enough shape to survive it.  And then I’m back to training to become one of life’s warriors again.
