Day 24: Long time no Blog!

Hey All! I hope you are having a wonderful day! Well I'm FINALLY back at it. After being sick for two weeks and having to go back to the doctor this past Monday, they have given me enough steroids to get me going again! Thanks Goodness!

Well yesterday was my first day back in the gym. I was very scared and worried about what my performance would be. Before I got sick I could run 3 miles with ease and push myself hard I could probably have gotten 4. I went in yesterday planning to run 3 and at 2 my body couldn't handle it anymore. I was coughing up a lung. Since all of my sickness moved to my chest, this has made it a lot harder to get over. So after the run I went to to the weight room and hit some weights and abs to get a little extra workout in. I plan on continuing to run DAILY until I get back to where I need to. I have actually considered doing two-a-days (running in the morning as well as the afternoon) but I'm not sure yet. I'm bummed that I ran so bad yesterday, but I have only been on this new medicine for 3 days so hopefully, fingers crossed, I'll be completely back to normal by Sunday and I can get a fresh start and get back at it hard. According to my training program by midwestfit.com I should be running 4 miles by Sunday of this week. I really think I can do it, if not, I'm going to try not to get frustrated and keep pushing. I mean its not like I planned on getting sick.

Weird side note: A couple of weekends ago I went out with some friends and actually had a lot of people tell me that they had been reading my blog. So if you read, then THANK YOU, its really encouraging. I hope everyone has a great day and pray that I get my endurance back soon!

Until Tomorrow...Just Keep Running!
