Well, this is a later post than I expected. Truth be told I've been coming down with a head cold of some kind. It's been a little tough to get through because I feel pretty dragged down, I don't feel like going out and doing things and I'm just all around sniffily and gross. I've been doing what I can to help myself out with my throat by having tea and making sure to have enough water to keep me hydrated. I've been also taking hot showers to clear my sinuses which has been helpful. It's been a rough few days and some of my plans for the long run have been thrown to the side. I'm going to try to do 3 miles but I'm not sure how far ill really go. I'm hoping that once I get going I can keep it up at a slow but steady pace and get where I need to be to just feel satisfied. 

It will be more difficult today since Lylah is taking her rest days at the moment. Without her being by my side it's like not having a coach to motivate you to do what you need to do. Nobody to push you or in her case, pull you at random times. I can tell when she is down because she doesn't get out to run but I have learned that I Have to give her an appropriate amount of time off so that she is not being overworked. It would be bad to push her too hard and put her in pain (limb-wise) just have to have some company while I run.

I'm hoping this will pass by quickly, that I will feel much better and in tip-top shape soon. I do need to complete an eight-mile circuit but I just don't think that will happen until I feel 100% again. We are getting under the five-month point for the half marathon so I've been slowly pushing the milage and so far it's been feeling pretty decent. We will see how that eight-mile run goes once I am feeling up to speed. 

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and keep on the hustle.
