Last week was a rough week. It was supposed to be my first week of distance running (as opposed to time running) and while it started out great on Tuesday with a 3 mile treadmill run I was barely able to do half of my 4 mile run the next day and didn’t do the Friday 3 mile at all. By Thursday morning I had a sore throat and rhinosinusitis (runny nose… really… check wikipedia). I visited my Dr. who said I was too stressed, which made sense since I work for a company that does a lot of mortgage business and… well… that business is bad right now. The other thing he did was give me some arginine pills because I am still having trouble with shin splints. Even though I am trying to eat more peanuts it’s still not enough.
