Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
6.22	0.00	6.22

This tops in at number three in my worst runs ever run in my life. Sinus congestion intense. Cough ridiculous. Nausea to the nth degree with other stomach issues. Combined with a 1/2 mucinex taken last night at work and amazingly 5 hours of sleep after my very busy night shift I felt out of body and entirely gross. No cough drops today, the thought made me more nauseated. So bronchial coughs throughout my run in the 1pm air. Sunny and bright from the snow reflections on the run to heighten my senses and dull my motivation even more. My muscles were achy. Breathed a ton of perfume and cleaner last night at work which is probably the main culprit for my weakness today. Someone sprayed strong deoderizer around the unit because someone thought they smelled throw up. Lovely. The cleaner was worse for me and sent me into a major coughing attack. Embarrassing. Just wish I could have fallen back to sleep because I felt so drugged when I awoke. This sounds terribly depressing of a report. I will hopefully recoup soon. I am not going to take any cold meds they only compound the problem 6.22 miles at turtle pace of 9:37 in sloshy slosh. First mile 10:47 when I just wanted to lie down and play dead. Last mile I decided to pretend I was a runner and ran a 8:22. This too shall pass : D.

Oh dear sounds miserable--I hate running in dirty slush. Give me clean white snow any day. I hope you feel better soon. Good luck with the crazy new year shift tonight. I am braced for a wild, busy night at work.

You are a Trooper to the tenth degree girl! Great job getting out on your run despite being sick and having to brave snow and slosh. Are you really running 20 on the treadmill Sat? You are a better woman than I!
