I know what a drag it is to train while you are feeling under the weather. Get better soon hombre. Drink plenty of beer and eat chocolate. They have copper in them. Copper makes you better.

Chill on the 7 day hiatus from training..you'll be fine as wine :)Mer!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14821025215062286648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-27878386416149544842011-01-27T20:05:53.061-06:002011-01-27T20:05:53.061-06:00I'm a nurse practitioner and was coughing for ...I'm a nurse practitioner and was coughing for 3 weeks before I saw a Doctor. Apparently a daily dose of "suck it up" just wasn't working. Now I'm on steroids, antibiotics, and inhalers. Getting better but still coughing like crazy at times. Feel better soon!!!! (and my off-the-record belief is that medication expiration dates are guidelines, not firm deadlines...after getting sick I used an inhaler that expired in 2006!)Kierstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13988018798603672048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-40343019107838836462011-01-27T19:33:23.515-06:002011-01-27T19:33:23.515-06:00LOL at BDD's comment!

Barely held a 8:00/mile for a 5k with a 202 HR... that's at least 90seconds slower that I run, even more so at that ridic HR... I got new pills and traded the HR issue for a very test GI tract. Almost done though. <br /><br />7days w.o training is ok; 5days and you lose fitness at around 1-2%, but it'll come back after the first session or two. Not to worry.<br /><br />As a coach, I'd tell your friend to bag it. I had to pull out of a race in December due to a knee.
