Can you say S-L-A-C-K-E-R

I don't want to make excuses but I went on that 5 mile run and got sick except when I get sick it's not 24 hours it's like three weeks with a lovely 'smokers' cough. Last night was the first night I took no cough meds. Anyway, this is the second winter this has happened so I went and got a chest Xray and I have an appointment with the Pulmonary Specialist on Monday. I'm hopeful he can isolate the problem and give me whatever I need to be able to run in colder weather.

This blows, I was all pumped about the 5 miler ready to packon more miles so I could do a local 1/2 marathon in February.

Anyway, since I can'tbreath without hacking up a lung I haven't been doing much and DH has been in Chicago since Thanksgiving and Jorja has been home from school (yes, I'm a little spent). Decmeber should be a little better - shoot I better get rid of this cough for good!

I hope the doc can get you some help so you can get back on the road again! Hope you're feeling better soon!

Jenni, it's shocking how similar our lives are sometimes... I've battled off 4 cold/illnesses in the past 2 months, and I'm dealing with another cold right now!! I'm "training" for the Music City 1/2 marathon, but everytime I start adding milage, I'm sick again. GRRR. I just want to be able to breathe again!
