This was a bad week. I thought I got off to a great start. I managed to get in a HIIT workout to beef up my strength training along with my mileage. 

I was able to do that at the beginning of this week just fine. I got in another scheduled speed run to supplement my eventual 13.25 mile long run. 

Unfortunately, a summer cold grabbed me and held me down. I thought I was almost over it and was hopeful to squeeze in my long run at the end of the week. I even made sure to bring homemade chicken soup with me to work to try to heal as the days went on. 

I tried every remedy I could think of, but my body had other plans. I have long dealt with asthma issues and had an attack early one morning. 

I went to see a doctor and it was what I have come to expect with having asthma, Bronchitis. Antibiotics and rest were the doctor’s orders and I’ve been taking that seriously.
