Lord knows I hate to say it out loud, but I think I've turned a corner. I feel a lot better and the cough is subsiding enough that people won't give me a side-eye being out in public.
Hike was a go for yesterday. Too many stops along the way to hear about the history of the trails (since new people on the hike), but we went just under 10 miles. The pace was comfortable when we actually got moving, but, dang, the stops in the beginning were annoying. Skipped the hard terrain because of the rain so it was an easy hike with distance. I really need to qualify for the tougher hikes so stopping and pacing won't be a frustration.
Came home and worked on my list. Slowly (like the hike lol).
I have my friend hiking group today. Later start because it's cold and maybe some mileage, but I expect it'll be around 5. One of the ladies wants to hike 8, but I can't see the group doing that in this weather with the later start. Either way is fine though. I thought about going early to hike ahead, but I don't want to push myself too much. My legs are okay this morning, but they'll be tired on the hills today.
I'm glad I decided to hike these hikes. It comes down to knowing your own body. The cough was crazy, but I could tell I wasn't actively sick anymore. I think the push has helped. Usually, I can tell at the start of a workout if it's too early to get back (hence the test Peloton ride on Saturday).
Short and sweet this morning because of THE LIST. I need to do a few things before the hike. We have the house photos tomorrow morning.
Feeling better has me feeling better about managing and enjoying what's ahead (at least for today -- you know panic sneaks back like the little devil she is hah).
Later gators.
