Sickness and Running.

Hey there!
So I just wanted to report that this week in both my Aerobics class and my Walking for Fitness class we had to run the mile. I was kind of excited for it because I've been working out pretty well with those classes' help all throughout the semester, so I decided to run each of them even though I'm sick.
I was doing well in Aerobics on Wednesday until about the fourth lap around the track when my vision started going blurry at the edges. I decided i'd better slow down and pace myself before I blacked out. I walked the next lap and part of each of the last three, but I still make a time 3 full minutes faster than I had at the beginning of the semester: 12:06.
Then, on Thursday, I also decided to run (apparently almost blacking out had taught me nothing) and had a couple of friends in that class to keep me motivated. I only made it till about the third lap when my stupid clogged nose and hacking cough decided to act up. I told the girls to go on ahead of me, but ran as much as I could for the rest of the laps without killing myself. Even with the illness, I was able to finish a minute faster than I had the day before: 11:09!
I'm excited to get rid of this cold so I can go run and see how fast I can go a whole mile. I know it's not the best time in the world, but I am still proud of my improvement :D And my motivation to go even though I was sick. So, patting myself on the back *pat pat pat* and telling myself to keep it up over the holidays. I can tell, especially now that classes are over, the holiday stuff is all kicking into full gear, and that means lots of unhealthy treats, less business (and therefore more opportunities to be lazy) and so on and so forth. Keeping my fingers crossed, I hope that it won't have too hard an effect on me!
Ciao!
