Odd workout week

I had no workouts outside this week.  None!  This is because that cold floating around finally caught up with me.  So at the beginning of the week I got in my speed workout and a regular run at the gym. They were both somewhat hard (perhaps because of approaching cold) and I even talked to my husband about feeling rather self congratulatory for getting them done.  Many people think I just can't wait to work out but that is so often not the case.  When I am done work for the day it would seem great to just head home and put my feet up.  (Ha ha - after dinner and all that stuff).  But I give myself no out and just go and get it done.  My workout ethic truly is a good one.  I also got in my swim this week which was nothing special, not sure why.  Then I got sick.

I thought I would get my bike training session in when I was home.  Usually when I'm sick I worry about missing workouts because I can't go out in the public and work out when I am missing work.  Not with my salary being paid through tax dollars. The public frowns on that.  I have ever gone into work less than healthy so I could get my workout in.  But.......but........now I have an indoor option at my house and I was scheduled to ride the trainer on Thursday.  Perfect.  But it didn't happen.  I.....just....plain......felt......too........lousy.  So okay, Friday was a snow day but I was still sick so let's squeeze it in.  Nope.... still feeling too lousy.  So how about Saturday.  Again, not happening.

That brings us to today, Sunday, when I truly did feel better.  Yesterday when I got up my abs hurt like crazy from all the coughing. Saturday night I slept well and hardly coughed at all!  So today I started out by getting on my trainer. I did it for the usual time but as I told my husband it was less than vigorous.  Then I wondered about getting a run in. I didn't want to go outside so I headed to the gym on   a Sunday for the first time in years. I looked up the hours on line and it said 8-12. I got there after 11 so I knew it would be a short workout.  It actually felt very good. I had no trouble running and only coughed once in awhile, more than my neighbors liked.  Since I thought the gym closed at noon I hurried through my workout and did not extend it. But no one appeared to be finishing up or chasing everyone out as noon arrived. On the way out I noticed a sign on the door that said the place closes at 2.  Maddening that the web site was wrong.

So back to work tomorrow and a regular day and a regular workout schedule gearing up for a future half marathon or two but definitely being ready for a race next weekend on the first day of my vacation! Woot! Woot! A new race and it's on the ocean!  On the beach!  Let the racing begin.

No stunning outdoor shots from my run this week.  This guy below is what I saw the most of.  The other two cats weren't  too interested in my being home a lot but this guy spent most of his time with me.

Well three hours later I have not uploaded the picture.  I upgraded,  I upgraded something else. I rebuilt but nothing is letting me import new pictures which as you know I like to do. I am giving up although I did post a question on a forum......no answers yet. I think tomorrow after work in the time I don't have I will go get my computer looked at.  Grr.  Hate computer problems.
