Does that mean you are going nowhere fast?  lol

 

Lily baby, I must be having a bad day. 

OMG answer my damn question.

Good morning!

No running for me today, but week 2 day 1 of pushups challenge will bow to me! Let's get it done Lily!

Hey everyone!

So do I run with a non-productive cough, or not?  I've been sick all week, flu like crud, but the last two days I've felt better, no more aches, etc.  But I still have a lil cough, it's non productive, just kind of a dry cough, but I'm not sure if I should run or not.  I really want to run, because I'm going freaking crazy not running, and the clock is ticking!  But I also don't want to push it and get sick again, I need to get some decent time on my feet before my marathon in March.  What would you do, run today, or wait another day?

Hope everyone has a great day!

LRB, you're going to hammer a half marathon.  Any ballpark guesstimate on what you've got in mind for a time, or is that top secret info like who shot JFK and where the moon landing hoax really took place?

When I say my goal time is over the moon, think blue cheese!  lol

Seriously, a lot a crap ton is going to depend on the weather and how it affects my quality workouts.  I have a few races sprinkled in there and those will let me know more than anything what is realistic leading up to the race.

I also have a extremely tough workout two weeks out that will ultimately determine my race day pace but until then, pass the Courvoisier!

Remember that Pfitz says you can pretty much just stick with your plan, no adjustments needed, if you missed less than 10 daya.

Thanks, I was just thinking that I need to check the book and see what I should do as far as missed training.  It's more than this past week tho, there's really about three weeks of the plan that I've missed.  Part of it was my own doing with the 50k, but then getting sick twice didn't help.

Checking in!  Rest day for me today, have a 5K tomorrow morning.  Plumbers coming again to the house tonite to finish up the bathroom leak, fun stuff.  I have a half day at work today, am leaving at noon, Texas time.  Need to get my haircut too, it's touching my ears now and driving me crazy!

Also, this morning I was messing with my work-study, lol. He said "We are off Monday, right?"  I said  "No, only our African-American employees have the day off, so Elnora (my good friend,  co-worker, co-researcher here at the university with me and, also like me, retired military) has off, but you and I have to work."  He was like..."Really?"     Elnora gave me a good Gibbs head-slap, lol, and straightened him out.

Good luck with your long run, Zelanie!

(((Damaris)))).  Hope you feel better.

Good luck with the half, LRB, hope you ROCK it!  200 calories?  Heck, with my big gut, I burn that just by getting up into standing position from a couch or chair!  It's a lot of work for me, lemme tell ya! 

Happy rest day, Kristin.  How is your foot doing, anyway?  Hope it's better than it was.

Hope you get your wish, Baboon, for a quiet productive workday.  How come MBC has not been around lately?  What did you do with her?

Are you running outside again now, lily, or it it still too cold?  I should start that pushup program, but I have an el-cheapo phone that downloads nuthin', lol.   Or mabye it's just me, which is more likely, I am a real know-nothing-about-technology  idiot.   Is the program online somewhere?

You were about as early in as I was, Dave, 5:30 a.m. for me.  Thank goodness I only have a half day today!   Good luck with your TM run today!  And you got cross-training in too...brushing snow off the car counts!

Hope you feel better, Step!  Baking?  Oatmeal raisin cookies hopefully?   Here, here, put a couple right in here!

Hi, again, Lauren!  Saw your other post on Penguins..glad the leg is feeling somewhat better.  Still sucks, though, that it's bothering you at all.  Hope your new shoes work well for you!

Nice to have choices, SIAR!  Enjoy the run with your friend.

but we've got 2 little guests staying the night tonight  So Hobbit is going to be at your house later, FreeSoul?   Glad you and Rocky had a vehicle free-run!  That weather does not sound so great though.  Does Rocky have his own winter-gear to wear too? Especially with wind and snow flurries...he probably needs some head and eye protection...

D2, had the same problem as you the last couple of weeks, coughing my dang head off, and some of it "productive".  However, when I went to my doc, she said my lungs were clear so, cough or not, I could still run.  Mine was more nasal-related, gunk kept dropping down the back of my throat, making me cough.   So if your lungs are clear, as long as you're feeling up to it,  it is probably safe to run.  Just make sure your lungs ARE clear.   And, of course, if you have accompanying fatigue, body soreness, etc, just a general sense of feeling BLAH,  that comes into play too, if you got all that AND the cough, you might want to rest a couple days till you feel up to running again.  I was lucky, I had the cough, but I did not have the other stuff going on, and I felt pretty good when I ran....then AFTER I finished, I'd get coughing fits again for a while...REALLY annoying!    Whatever you decide....  Good luck!

Rocky loves the cold, not so much the wind but he likes the cold more than hot weather.  We're watching a friend of mine's kids tonight,  hopefully they aren't carrying any colds or germs or viruses..... Dorian and I dealt with being sick last month and I don't feel like going through it again.
