This morning was a little scary. I have had cold/flu like symptoms since Saturday night, and have just been feeling rotten. As stubborn as I am, I refuse to miss a run. Monday's run was tough because I just felt so darn hot. Today, it felt like my windpipe was the size of a straw.
After a 5 min warm-up walk, we started running. A few minutes into it, I could just feel my chest getting tight and it was hard to breath. At the 5 min mark, I had to stop. It felt almost like an asthma attack. It was really quite freaky.
So, I had to take it easy. I walked, then tried running again. I was fine running at a conversation pace. Actually, I can't believe how easy it was for me to run at 5mph. I felt like I could go forever. It wasn't THAT much slower than my normal 5.5mph pace, but it made a HUGE difference.
HOPEFULLY this crap goes away by Friday's run. It's 25min without walking.
