Week 8 - Tuesday

Still not feeling well, but sore throat was a little better, so after work I headed to the gym in spite of better judgment. I planned to start off with a 1750 meter swim. Every lap lane was full when I arrived, so I sat around freezing after my pre-swim shower until a lane opened up. Once in the water I felt a little better, but noticed as my swim progressed, the chlorinated water was irritating my throat. It was raging again by the time I was done with the swim, which took me 45 minutes.

I decided to do my run anyway, so went up and hopped on a treadmill. I ran 4 miles, but took it easy and felt pretty good during and after. I know there are different schools of thought about exercise when you're sick, but I felt a little better afterward, especially mentally. Really don't like skipping workouts!

BTW, still waiting for Spring to actually arrive so I can train more outside. It actually snowed today! Ugh.
