It’s been two weeks since I last ran. I can assure you that dealing with bronchitis is not fun.
I couldn’t take it anymore, so even though I still have some cough/chest issues I decided to go for a run today. My goal was to keep the run short and keep it easy.
Ran 2.26 miles in 20:44 (9:10/mi pace) with an average speed of 6.5 mph and a max of 7.7 mph. My 1-mile splits were 9:32 and 8:46 with the last quarter at a 9:18/mi pace. Burned about 330 calories.
Felt good. I think I still have a ways to go before I can call myself “recovered” but it was nice to know I haven’t lost as much ground as I thought.
Good work. Welcome back.
Heh, thanks dude.
I’m taking today off and then running three tomorrow. The plan is to be completely back on track by next Monday.
I can appreciate the “come-back” story right now. I’m in the same boat. Keeping working on it. Hope you feel better.
Glad to hear you are feeling better. I had what I now think was acute bronchitis back in 1998, it kicked my ass for at least a month.
Yeah, I almost feel lucky getting away with “only” two weeks of misery. :)
