Antibiotics Anyone?

After a few days on antibiotics I thought I could get back to running.  Today I ran 8.8 miles after a short 4.0 mile run yesterday.  Taking a week off for sickness gave me perspective.  A few days off isn’t going to ruin my fitness, in fact I think it might have improved my attitude toward this whole running competition thing.  Maybe we should all just get along and encourage one another.  I guess what I am saying is “I am sorry”… sorry for “striking while the iron is hot” and trying to sneak in runs to win the month.  No, my attitude is different now and I will hopefully run smarter because of this change.  Why do we run?  To feel healthy and good, not to risk sickness and injury.
