Good for you! Congratulations!
Didn't run this weekend but I played about 2.5 hours of paddleball and raquetball with the family on Sunday. Highlight of the afternoon - coming from behind and beating DS13 in a singles raquetball game! LOL.
Oh, and on Saturday I went to an Arbor Day Festival with DD11 where, among many other things, we got to try riding a unicycle on specially designed training wheels for the first time! It was really fun although tough to turn without handlebars (you have to "whip the hip"!), but they said I was a natural. I was dying to try it without the training wheels, but they couldn't allow me in that setting due to liability reasons. However, I enjoyed it so much that I took their card and I am contemplating a private lesson!

Missed my run on Saturday due to the onset of a nasty head cold (which I'm still dealing with.) How do you guys deal with running and being under the weather? I hope this starts to subside because I really want to get in my run before my 6 mi hill run on Wed. #motivated
On the plus side I have found out that doing yoga/belly dancing has really worked for my cross-training days. (i.e. today)

The point of training is doing what you don't feel like doing, fighting through s___t, and working out the kinks.Missed my run on Saturday due to the onset of a nasty head cold (which I'm still dealing with.)

You fight through a head cold. You can fight through some injuries amd certainly fight through the 'i just dont wanna.' It's not all going to be gum drops and moon pies, and accepting the good , bad and the ugly will project you forward. Never give up.

Im the wrong person to ask on this one. I am rarely sick, but if I am, I get my workout in anyway. Unless it is a stomach bug and I physically cant move or extremely high fever, the sniffles, aches, congestion, I dont feel good, stomach aches and sore throat etc go running with me.Missed my run on Saturday due to the onset of a nasty head cold (which I'm still dealing with.)

I do have 2 kids that prevent a good night sleep most of the time (one of them is 2 and cutting teeth) so I am use to getting crappy sleep, falling back asleep while putting my gear on and as i have stated here before, standing in the doorway to my garage about to leave, trying to convince myself to go back in a go to bed, but the commitment I have made to reach my goal (whatever it is at that time) always wins.
The beauty of running through illness and other life's complications, is you never know what race day will bring. Race day comes and you dont feel 100%, you have a cold, upset stomach, or just not into it that day (see above list).... you have been there done that. Lets kick @ss.
Im not trying to sound arrogant, I just try to kick life's @ss everyday instead of the other way around. Anyone can do that!

My attitude is, if you can breathe, run. You need the O2.
You're hardcore!

I'll admit, I've been bad. It's been a combination of allergies or bronchitis (I can't tell which), rain, and lack of sleep that has kept me from running since Thursday. Usually I power through it and run anyway, but two or three things piling up will keep me from it. It also doesn't help any that I'm not currently registered for any race, and most likely my next several races will by 5Ks and not the long runs I've gotten used to.
I'm going into tonight with the positive attitude that I WILL get up and run in the morning and I WILL enjoy it

I ran 12 miles yesterday morning in the metroparks in Berea. My dad and I finished 8 miles by 9:45am and the final 4 came during our Fun Run my brother, father, and I put together to help raise money for those affected in Boston. We had people who loved to run and/or wanted to support the cause come and join us for 3 miles. We don't know how much we made yet and we have more funds coming in this week. Every little bit helps.

That sounds like fun! I am pretty clumsy though so I don't think I would be very good at it!

You just need to get out there and do something. Odds are, you will perk up once you get going. Especially after you have been running for a while, your body just starts to crave it. Now depending on what it is you may need to modify. (I.E. if Nick broke his leg I'd wager he would change from a 25mi trail run to a 13mi trail run w/cast) Knee causing pain? Try something different. Switch surfaces you are running on, or try the bike or eliptical. Stuffy nose? Perfect time to suck it up and run. When I've gone to see my PCP about feeling like crud and told her I was heading out for a 13mi run on my way home as long as she cleared me, she actually told me that going for a run would be the best thing for me. Help to force your body to cycle through and process the crap and get it out sooner. You can always modify/adapt your workout to accommodate for most injuries. You may not get 100% of the benefits from a modified workout, but 50% is significantly better than the 0% you would have gotten if you sat and home and wallowed in self pity.
Today was a 38 min cross training bike day. Need to step it up a few smidges to match the output from the faster runs I'm doing, but I'm getting there.
Ayup. Always a good sign.

3 miles this morning and then to the gym for my normal weight training on my legs to make them jelly by 7am. It accomplished that goal.
Happy Tuesday.

You've received some tough love on this subject already so I'll take a different approach. I do run if I have a head cold or feel under the weather. I just slow the pace and get it done. I won't run through the flu or a serious upper respiratory infection that prevents me from breathing sufficiently. I do run through tiredness and soreness and minor injury but I won't run through serious injury. You really need to ask yourself if running through whatever you are experiencing will make you worse in the long run (no pun intended) or if you are trying to use it as an excuse to avoid a workout. Truth be told, I usually feel better after running with a head cold than I did originally. At the same time, if I have a choice of doing a workout today or tomorrow, and I think I might feel better tomorrow, then I might put it off a day. But I will not skip it altogether.
LOL, it had training wheels! If you can stay on a horse, you could do this.
As for me, 4.5 miles yesterday at 9:48 pace.
