It’s been a minute since my last run post. I’m on the Oregon coast for the holiday, where my sister-in-law lives, and it’s a nice locale for sure. But it took a lot to get here, between finishing off work for the year, coaching at a meet the night before we had to travel, then getting into Portland at 3AM PT. I was a zombie Sunday and I still had to work two days from here yesterday and today. No wonder I started feeling sick Sunday night. All that stress took a toll. Thankfully I feel like I am on the mend now, after hydrating like crazy and including copious amounts of Emergen-C in my water.
I felt good enough today to head out for this run, but I kept it short, both to keep my health from heading back in the wrong direction and to not get caught out on the beach trail in the dark. 4 miles was about right today, but the 75 switchback steps I had to jog to get up the cliff where our house is took whatever I had left in me. I should sleep well tonight.
