A strange thing happened today...

Lately I've been walking, not running. I've missed it and worried that if I didn't run again soon I would have to start again to be able to. So I set out to run again today. I ran for the first 10 minutes and then developed an awful cough. I tried to keep running but something was making me choke, I then walked while I sipped some water and tried to clear my throat but I thought I was going to throw up. I stopped for a but, drank water, blew my nose and thought I was right, walked for a bit more then ran again. I ran for another 10 minutes and then the coughing fit started up again. All up I managed to run for 30 mins, which I am really pleased about, but this awful cough made it difficult to keep going.

I have no idea what that was about?? Even now I can still feel a niggle that makes me want to keep coughing. 

I was really pleased with the way I ran, I had a good stride going, a nice pace and it felt really comfortable. Running feels more satisfying for some reason.. I get a warm burn in my muscles for ages afterwards that makes me think the fats coming off... I haven't weighed myself this week, I don't know why.. I've been good - walked 24 kms last week, all outside and over different terrains, haven't eaten or drunk anything I shouldn't, I am just not curious, which is unlike me. I might force myself to tomorrow, because if things aren't on track I need them to be so better I get on to it sooner rather than later!
