Stopping By The Woods

Well, I definitely do not feel so hot today. I have been fighting off something for a week or more. Sore throat, and now I feel more symptoms all over. I just feel really awful at the moment, physically. I laid in bed when I woke up thinking that I might not feel well enough with fighting off this bug to even go into work, yet alone go out for a run. I did something I rarely do since I have started running again, and that is, think up excuses not to go out this morning. The snow that fell overnight was hardly substantial; certainly not enough to keep me from running. Slowly, I got it together enough to get out and do a once-around jog in the neighborhood. I won’t even bother with the Garmin numbers…it was just two and a half miles in the snow at an 11 minute pace. I just feel under the weather, unfortunately. To top it off, my hip flexor pain is really, really bad for some reason today. I felt it the entire time and really feel it a lot now. I am not discouraged, just feeling a bit low. Hey, not every post is gonna be upbeat. But at least I still have a beat.
