Collapsed Runner
Running While Sick
December 4, 2012 Running

Collapsed RunnerMy body should know better. Do not test me or I will break it. The past 48 hours I have had a scratchy throat that feels like it has been swelling up. I did all that I could to resist running. It made sense to let my body rest. After all, I had no apetite. In one day, I ate a burrito and a PBJ sandwich. Something had to be done.

Woke up this morning and felt like my throat was closing in. So naturally I went running.

With it being 28 degrees outside, I decided to run inside. I do have some safety sense.

My office has a treadmill with a nice view of the water. I set out for a little 3 mile jog while watching the news on my iPhone. That turned into 6 miles while continuously increasing the speed.

Post run I enjoyed some Fage greek yogurt and while I would like to say my throat was better, it really wasn’t. Fortunately, it wasn’t bad.

Maybe I’ll do 2 runs today?
