A small setback

My 5K is approaching quickly and i am not where i wanted to be at this point. Not because i haven't been pushing myself these past few months but because i got sick. Now don't get me wrong, usually when i get sick life doesn't stop. Zicam in my opinion, is the greatest invention EVER! I can take Ziacam and my cold is cut in half in every way...the length of the cold, the severity of the cold, the symptoms of the cold...i love it! Somehow though, this time Zicam failed me. This cold i got (10 days ago) kicked my butt!! The fact that we had rain the week before i got sick didn't help either. Not just any rain but rain that needed and ark! I didn't run that whole week or the week and a half i was sick so when i got back out there last night i thought i was going to die. I feel better but i have this dumb cough just lingering around. Last night i kept having to stop in the middle of my run and cough up a lung. Tonight was the same. It did, however, feel GREAT to be back out there. The weather these past 2 days have been PERFECT!! There is something about running in cooler weather that just makes me want to run farther and longer with my music even louder! Even though i am not where i want to be I am still proud of myself. I have been working hard. I am getting excited. Noah said he wants to come cheer me on and for that i am more excited than running the actual race. He also told me he wants to wear the pin with his soccer picture on it because that is what i wear when i am cheering him on. Is that love or what!?! Okay...i am off for a run!
