Yesterday's running paid off; I was finally able to sleep a complete night. Still, woke up with the same cough, now with complimentary green mucus. Took a brief nap late morning then pushed on through the rest of the day. Just did my Back ST workout, and am heading out the door for a nice mile-and-a-half barefoot walk to pick up our toddler. Managed to do 225 on my deadlift, the first time I've gone beyond 175 since the MCL injury. Stayed at 75 on the squats, but they definitely felt better than last week when I did them for the first time in a long while. So things continue to improve. Hopefully this bug won't get any worse so I can continue with the track intervals tomorrow. I want to get in as many track workouts as possible before it snows.
You know Sid, it's funny about having signed up for the half-marathon in August. I actually feel less pressure to improve my mileage now that the goal of running 10-plus miles is more remote. Maybe it will start to mess with my head more when I get closer to the date. In any case, sounds like your marathon is going to be a good time. All the best with it! I look forward to hearing about your training.
