I feel like I have been sick for a month and in truth it has been close to that. Started with a cold that turned into a deep cough. I know the rule of thumb that if it is neck or above you are probably okay to run but it if is in the chest you should rest. Well it has been almost 2 weeks of no running and my inner monologue sounds something like this:
"I have been off for so long. It is going to suck to "start again". Maybe I pushing myself too soon since I still have the cough...."
Basically I have a pretty good base of running. Not far or fast, but all winter I was running 3-4 miles 3-4 times a week. So I know I won't be starting from scratch. I guess the real question is this: Do I wait till the cough is mostly gone before running again?
