i think its the black lung pa

(sorry, zoolander joke but seemed appropriate)

amazingly i made it out of bed and up to sweat training. i felt fine when i inexplicably woke up at 4.45 and still when i got up at 5.20... so couldn't come up with a good reason not to go.

the jog down was a bit of a challenge. my cough has really settled in and i think my barking cough was probably scaring the guard dogs. still i could breathe ok so long as i wasn't having a coughing fit.

it was a pretty small (relatively!) group today but was great to see kerrie back and i felt a bit like i had missed out by not coming tuesday (what is that about??). it was 400's today and my program had 6 but sean and i thought that 5 was a better target. i kept it at what was a pretty easy pace but was surprised that i was running them at the same pace that i had when i started and i was half dying! Was pretty steady at 2.00 2.00 2.00 1.58 1.58 (thanks to kerrie for the excellent pacing!).

i raised the possibility of redoing last weeks program with sean and he pretty much said no - just keep going. so keep going i will (try).

not feeling fantastic now as my chest is pretty tight and i'm coughing a LOT. but typically with me that means the end of the cold, so lets hope it is a quick recovery cause i'm annoying myself!!
