Shortest workout EVER!

With the amount of stress in my life right now, it's little wonder that I am sick.  To be honest, I'm surprised it took this long for me to catch something!   For now I'm dealing with a head cold and headache; hopefully it stays right there and doesn't evolve into something worse.

Yesterday my running partner and I met at the Y to do 7-8 slow miles together.  It was misting, colder than forecast, and foggy as all get-out.  In other words, not a great day for a run when you're sick to begin with!   Still, I wanted to get some miles done, and she's great company (and frankly, I needed to have some time to vent, sort through everything that's going on with someone who knows me so well, and also be distracted by other stuff we would talk about over an hour plus of running together), so I got dressed and met her.

Literally two minutes into the run, I had to stop.  My stomach hurt, my energy was nonexistent, and I thought I would surely die if I took one more step.  So we turned around and jogged back to our cars. 

Shortest. Run. Ever.  4:33 total.

So we're telling people we did a mile.  :)   It was totally our plan to do a timed mile yesterday.  With that perspective, a 4:33 workout is rather impressive!  :)
