I'm sitting here in NYC trying to get over this damn cough thing which I've had for almost 1.5 weeks now. Nice gurgling phlegm coming up out of my lungs - I tried running last Thursday and it was tough. I had good run times for a distance tempo run, but afterwards I felt as though I had sucked all this phlegm back into my lungs and it was hard breathing for about a half an hour after.
It's now 4 days til race sunday. The cough is still phlegm-ing up. I can't tell if it's getting better or not, but I stopped taking cough suppressants just so I could cough out as much stuff out of my lungs as possible.
It's not looking good for NYC Marathon this year...
