I was forced into a week
long break from running because of a nasty virus that held my body hostage,
mostly via cough and sinus congestion. Yesterday morning I finally got back to my routine
and was pleasantly surprised with how good I felt. I did 5 miles at an 8:38 average and didn't have a
coughing attack or any chest pains. In fact, someone called me fast! Me!
Fast!
This triumphant return is all the more note-worthy because Monday night marked the official return of Wine Monday! I had not participated for over
a month, giving it up for my last few weeks of training before the half
marathon. During last week's Wine Monday I wasn't feeling great and didn't imbibe. This week
however, I made up for lost time. With some help from Dutch, my partner in
crime, I managed to polish off a wonderful bottle of Petite Syrah.
So
to recap: sick for a week, drank a lot of wine, ran 5 miles. Fast!
