Woke up with a cough this morning. Maybe I'm coming down with something -- I kind of hope that's what's keeping me from running my usual speeds. Decided to run a few at lunchtime (from home) and see what happens. Felt very tired again, and HR was elevated for the speed I was going. I got honked at by an angry driver on my winding country roads. I at first just waved. I was on the left shoulder -- I was in no way hindering his way. As he drove off he rolled down his window and flipped me "the bird". It really bothers me that someone would go out of their way to show their anger -- is it because I'm running? wearing shorts? in shape? I don't understand. I try to be nice and wave to all cars as they pass. I too drive a car most places -- and actually enjoy seeing people out trying to improve themselves by exercising. There will always be people out there that are just angry - or have circumstances or upbringing that makes them haters. I can't let the get to me.. Anyways, I might have to lower my expectations for Saturday's 5K race based on my lack of energy. I've got a few days to get back in shape, and will hope for the best on race morning!
