There's nothing like being incapacitated for the entire week due to a cold virus. Sniffles and sore throat are nothing when it comes to having no energy even to get up out of bed.
I actually had to cancel a couple of coaching sessions (I'm very mindful of my athletes catching what I have, and I don't want them to suffer the same fate) and stay in bed Tuesday and Wednesday to kick this thing. Ahhh, but the Raman Soups and Tea did me well and boy, do they hit the spot when I'm ill!
So yesterday I felt better and decided that today (Friday), I was finally well enough to get back into training again. I chose to do a nice 10 mile run across the Bayonne Bridge and wound up finishing the thing with a time of 1:29:30 (almost 9 min/mile). To my amaxement I felt real loose!
So maybe I can salvage the weekend after all. :-)
If everything goes well I'll be doing a bike this afternoon on my Computrainer.
Tomorrow is NYC Marathon Expo Day, so I'll be running 10 miles across the Bayonne Bridge, but instead of coming back, will run straight to Journal Square in Jersey City and take the Path Train to the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan.
And of course, Sunday is the NYC Marathon. I'll give you the details on that tomorrow.
