Catching Up

So I took a week off. I had a cold to get over. The remnants are still here, but I'm not using cough medicine anymore. For one, I'm totally out. I had Theraflu for day and one for night. Both are done. And two, I haven't had a coughing fit for a couple of days. I'm doing pretty good. Yesterday, I decided to get back out there. I thought I was gonna tear it up. Not so. Maybe I was too hot. Maybe it's because I haven't been taking my iron regularly. Maybe a week off was too long. Or maybe it just wasn't a good day. It can be some of those things. Heck, maybe even all of those things. In any case, I wasn't feeling it. So I ran 2mi. Walked home. Got my bike and went back out. Is that a backwards mini brick? Anyway, the ride was nice. The breeze blew the sweat off of me. It was refreshing. Today, I was thinking about running, although Mondays are off days on my new running plan. It's just that the sun was out, the sky was blue. I had the windows down, and the sunroof open. Then as I get further up 295, grey clouds are hanging over my exit. The air got cooler and everything. As soon as I enter Willingboro, the rain droplets start. So I decided to do yoga. It's been months since I've done yoga. I feel like something got adjusted or realigned. I like yoga and all. But it's a shame that it doesn't even cross my mind anymore. Maybe I need a dry erase board or something that has my workout schedule (run, bike, yoga). I'm a visual person. I'm likely to do/want it if I see it. Anyway, I did a 45min general routine. It was Kool and the Gang. And very relaxing. I can use that on a Monday after work. Who likes Mondays? So I have 3mi on tap for tomorrow. Hopefully it will feel better than my last 2. And on that note, I'm out. Night all! Activity Route: Park Elev. Avg: 29 ft Location: Willingboro, NJ Elev.
