Overcoming A Challenge!

This week started out rough. On Sunday 7/28/13 I woke up with a sore throat. I didn’t think much of this sore throat, because it felt like it was probably really dry from sleeping with my mouth wide open.  I went on my Sunday run as usual and then went to my mom’s house to spend the day with her. She also had a sore throat and wasn’t feeling well just like me. On Monday morning everything seemed to get worse! Mondays are my day off from working out, so I was excited to relax, sleep, and feel better.  After I got off work I took a really long nap and woke up feeling the same as I did before, maybe even worse.  I tried taking a warm bath but still felt really crappy. I put my shoes on and headed to the grocery store to pick up some Nyquil and Sprite. I went to bed at 7:00 p.m. hoping to get enough rest to feel better by Tuesday. I woke up and instantly knew that it was going to be a HORRIBLE day. I got to work and could barely sit still without wanting to vomit all over everything and everyone! I went home and went right to bed! I slept a total of five hours, and it felt great. I knew I could not go running that night so I then decided that I took my two days off this week so I will have to push through it. 

Here are some picture through out my week...

Wednesday

On Wednesday I decided to get my 3 miles over with on my lunch hour at work. It was a nice afternoon to go because it wasn't too hot. After work I went home and took another long nap to prepare for tomorrows run! 

Thursday

Today I decided to break up my run and do two miles at a time. I ran two miles on my lunch hour while it was still cool outside. I then went to the gym with Wendy after work and ran another two miles along with more cardio workouts and a little bit of weight training. 

Friday

Friday morning I was feeling back to normal. I continued to drink my gallon of water and ate a delicious breakfast at work. 

After I got home from work on Friday i busted out my 3 miles and relaxed for the rest of the evening.

Saturday

Saturday I did my cardio for the day. I went to the gym to lift some weights and work on toning. After my workout I went to my moms house and we went on a long bike ride. It was day for working out. 

Sunday

Sunday morning rolled around and I woke up at my usual 6:30 a.m. alarm. I found a new route to run and I loved it. There were lots of sprinklers to run through which made it so much more enjoyable. 

This week is finally over and I am ready to start week three!
