Too cold, too snowy

So far this week, I've gotten three runs in. Monday, went to the fitness center and ran three and did one on the elliptical. Plus, I lifted weights. I've been hurting ever since.

Last night, I ran four mile in about 36 minutes and then did some weights.

This morning, I met my friend at the fitness center and ran four in just over 36 minutes. We were both struggling. After kicking up the pace, at 2 miles, I had to pull back. After we were done, we were talking for a couple of minutes and I felt like my lungs were full and I couldn't get a good deep breath. I think I'm getting a cold.

Both of my girls are fighting colds - runny noses and coughing. It is only a matter of time. However, I can't complain as this is really the first sickness we've had in quite a long time.

By the way, there is about 2 inches of snow on the ground and, while Yahoo!Weather said it was 16 degrees, my car said it was 1 degree this morning. By the time I picked the girls up from school and daycare, it was a balmy, sunny 14 degrees!

Wild, though, it is supposed to get up to 42 degrees this weekend. Maybe a nice run outside will be in order!!
