Temporary Set Backs

I knew that after several days of my kids waking me up every morning in bed with multiple coughs in my face that inevitably, I would get sick.  And, I did.   After a long run on a cold day, I found myself  congested, coughing incessantly and just wiped out.   So, I had to stop doing my favorite activity, running.  For 4 whole days (which for me feels like an eternity) I could not run.  So, I was grumpy and generally not happy with the world.  But on that 5th day, after a lot rest and fluids, I climbed onto the treadmill and ran for 20 minutes;  and it felt OK.  2 days later, I went for 6 miles and it felt better.  
The best part about this set back, was that it was truly only temporary.  

If you ever find yourself unable to stick with your workout routine due to injury or illness, make sure to muster up the patience needed to let your body get back to a good place before you start up again.   It may be days, weeks or months to recover but know that it is only a temporary set back and if you stay focused and appropriately ease yourself back in, you will get back to the routine that you want.

Have a great week.  Hope to see you soon.
