slow but steady

my doggy looks like she's saying "oh no!"
that is how i am approaching my runs as i start back up after two weeks off. turns out the doc thought i picked up a mild case of the flu in CA and then it spread to a sinus and ear infection. ugh. but a dose of meds has just about cleared me up.

monday was an almost 70 degree, cloudy, somewhat humid 4 mile run. surprisingly, it went well and i only walked for 1 min after each half mile.

tuesday felt harder so i kept it to a short yet sweet 3 miles. the 60 degree sun and light breeze were just lovely.

today i ran 4 miles and felt better than yesterday. my legs and body feel fine; it's just my lungs that are tired. my man reminds me that they were just attacked and wounded by biological warfare. that's one way to put it! i've been taking the tissues along on the runs and am still coughing a little but i'm feeling oh so much better.
it just feels so good to be pounding the pavement again. :)

That's one funny picture! I'm just wondering how you got it. Glad you're feeling well enough to get some running in!

Love the pooch pic; too cute!
Glad you are finally feeling better. You were really sick lady, it's going to take time to get back to 100%. Especially those lungs. You'll get there though. Take your time and be sweet to yourself. There's only one you, you know!
