Minor Setback

I am coming off of my first minor set back since beginning The Bay State Test. The setback being a crazy cold from hell. I went to work on Tuesday and left about halfway through the day. The cold kept me out of work yesterday and kept me off the roads for both days. I went to work today and struggled through the negative mood that had set in because of my weakened state. My only desires were to have my mom make me some soup and to watch another episode of the Price is Right. Today limped along just like I did after mile 22 of my first marathon. I did manage to get out for a run today. It was only an easy 3 miles and my lungs felt like they were working double time. However, my legs seemed to have the most spring that they have had in months.

So even a minor setback can somehow have very positive effects.
