This last running session was challenging. Running after work is always hard and increasing from 1min to 2min running time had me a bit worried, but in the end it turned out to be exactly what I needed to finish my day.
Nothing like a "good sweating" to make you feel accomplished.
Today is supposed to be a running day but as it stands right now I don't think I'm even going to attempt, it seems that my little people brought home a cold and lovingly passed it on to Mama. So I'm dealing with a cough and sore throat instead of running.
Today I listened to my body and spend most of my day giving it some well deserved TLC
and a little of this
and some of this
a couple of spoons of this
a plenty of this
I always use natural remedies to cure a common Cold, along with plenty of sleep, lots of liquids and rest seems to always do the trick.
What Natural Remedies do you stand by?
Hope to be feeling better in no time so I can get back to running.
Happy Running!
