Cough cough hacking cough! Made it not exactly in record time but finished. Was kind of worried about how high my pulse was so I had to slow it down. #runningwhilesick #trondheimmaraton2018 #runner #running #norwegianrunners (at Trondheim, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnLru4SAQwv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b68xgjpods6f

After complete rest for 4 days straight and pretty much doing nothing but trying to recover from this cold/flu I finally felt okay enough to get out for a run. 7 miles with necessary stops for water and coughing up a lung or two. Chest is still really congested and body is definitely feeling the rapid 5 lbs weight drop. But I'm at least on the mend. 2.5 weeks til race day. #runningmom #motherfuckenmarathonmom #ultratraining #ultrarunning #ultrarunnersareweird #runningwhilesick #postrunstretch #runwithpurpose #Chicagorunning #Chicagorunners

Which has meant no exercise since Saturday (it's THURSDAY) and I have a bad habit of completely going off the rails with food when I can't exercise. Its a stupid double-whammy that I do to completely sabotage my own Fitness and weight loss efforts 😠 BUT I am at the gym now! Just finished a slow mile on the treadmill and I felt REALLY good! Oh, except my shins killing my legs one step at a time -_- but that's okay, I expected other pains that didn't come, and I doubt that will happen much more as I get back on track. I'm just happy to be back! AND I should be at a deficit for the day when I get done! Woo-hoo!

Im usually not pro electrolyte drinks but I can honestly say that this was the best decision I made today. #feellikedeath #headcold #runningismytherapy #dehydrated #cantstoprunning #runningwhilesick
