First Run

Today was my first run of 2013. I went 7 miles and felt good. I shut it down for a week due to the flu. I didn't know how far I would go but managed to get 7 miles in. This flu was stubborn. I'm ready to get the running year of 2013 underway.

To Work

I'm heading off to work at the hotel this morning. I feel like I'm getting better with my cold. Not as much mucus in my system and my throat wasn't bothering as badly as it has been last night. I did some weights yesterday so that's the first time I've done any exercising in a week. I do plan a run tomorrow. Off to work I go.

No Run

5 days into the new year and I still haven't run a step. I'm trying to get over this flu. It has been very stubborn. Makes me want to get a flu shot next year. I didn't to it because I had a bad reaction to one a few years ago. This cold has been brutal. I've lost weight which is a surprise to me because with no exercise this week, I thought I'd put on some. That's what happens when I'm sick. For the most part I feel better. But I do still have a sore throat and I've been coughing at night when I sleep. It is my hope to start running again on Monday. I want to run on the road to recovery.

It's Cold

Single digits were the Fahrenheit degrees this morning. The sun is out and the skies are blue. I am still trying to get over the flu. I'm feeling stronger. I did wake up with a coughing episode last night and my throat is still sore. Keep on resting.

Get Well Card

I still have a sore throat but I feel stronger today. I've been resting. Tonight will be an indication if I'm getting healthier. Hopefully I won't be coughing as much as I've been the last few nights.

The Flu

It's a good thing I have the next couple of days off because I've been sick with what must be the flu. No doubt it's a head cold. I've done plenty of coughing with my throat being sore. Not the best way to start the new year.

New Years Day 2013

I spent the first day of the year working at the hotel. It wasn't very busy. It's just that people wanted late check outs. Fortunately it wasn't too occupied today so most of those rooms could be left vacant/dirty. This is what's known as SHOP TALK.
