Time off
Posted by Terrence York under: Terrence York (Coach) .
Thursday night after my speed workout at the YMCA I was exiting the YMCA when all of a sudden out of now where it felt like I inhaled a feather in my left nostril. I thought oh no not a sinus infection. I have to much to do this weekend. Well friday morning I woke up and my left side of my face was swollen and my nose was running etc, etc. Needless to say I called in sick at work. I went to the YMCA that afternoon to sit in the steam room to see if that would clear me up. Well it worked for about a half an hour after I left the YMCA. Later that evening I had to help set up for an auction for my son’s school. When I got home I took some medication and went to bed.
The next morning on saturday I was supposed to meet with some fellow run gazelle members to run a long run. I still wasn’t feeling well so I opted out in staying in a nice warm bed than running. I rarely like to do that because when I miss a long run it feels like there is something missing for the rest of the weekend.
When I saw that run gazelle canceled the long run for sunday I was thankful. This gave me another day to rest. I guess I was listening to my body and it told me to take some time off. Hopefully the medication will start working soon so I can get back out there to continue my training for the 5/3 Riverbank Run.

R&R my friend. You’ve earned it. Feel better soon. Running with a cold makes the miles seem twice as far! Good luck.
