Today was supposed to be an easy run taking into account the fact I had a cold in the first place. Famous last words. Actually I think the run was the least of my problems: I probably shouldn't have had milky coffee AND fruit juice before I went, certainly shouldn't have had quite so many painkillers on an empty stomach, and shouldn't really have tried the energy drink again that I had on Saturday because it made me feel a bit queasy then. All in all I ended up feeling VERY sick ... and it's taken a lot of toast, and some crystallised ginger to get me back on an even keel again. FAIL!
Having said that - my run itself was quite successful. Yes, I was definitely feeling a bit worse for wear thanks to my cold, but my running pace seems to be improving still and I managed to push myself a tad on my last run-repetition to lengthen my stride and go a bit further/faster than before.
It was also lovely going round the park and seeing a few rabbits - including a very cute wee baby bunny which reminded me of when my two were so dinky. The older rabbits were very bold and watched me run past them both ways (as they were just at the point where I doubled back on my route). The wee one was a bit more scared, but I still got a good look at him.
