Illness

I've been quite sick for the past week, it has been very unpleasant.

25/06/13
6.5 km run 33 minutes
I decided to run while sick and it actually made me feel somewhat better, I had my mind taken off the pain in my throat and all the movement shook loose phlegm that I was able to cough/spit out. Obviously I couldn't give a full effort hence the shortened distance and lengthened time.

29/06/13
6.5 km 31 minutes
Felt much better due to being almost fully recovered. This run was HARD

30/06/13
'scientific' warmup
6X(4X22.7kg) flat dumbbell chest press
5X(12X61.2kg) squat
3X(20X36.36kg) bent over barbell row
3 hammer grip chin ups
stretching
8 hammer grip chin ups

01/07/13
6.5km 31 minutes
I ran the first half of this run faster than the second, I was definitely on pace to break thirty minutes but then it got hot.

02/07/13
'scientific' warmup
2X(12X31.8kg)+3X(12X27.27kg) overhead standing barbell press
3X(20X61.2kg) trap bar deadlift
10X5 full bridge

no cooldown since I was working out with a friend and we were in a hurry. My first set of overhead press was with the lighter weight, the next two were with the heavier one since the other was in use. I was struggling mightily on my last set.

06/07/13
6.5km 30 minutes
This was a good run, had I set out earlier in the morning it definitely would have been cool enough for me to break 30.

I was sick as a dog for a few days and then the strangest thing happened. Over the course of less than an hour my very sore throat went away, my body aches were gone and I felt clear headed. I could feel myself getting better by the minute, it was very odd. I felt like wolverine.

The gap between the second and the sixth is filled by the camping trip I went on with my family. I ran around with the dog and threw around some logs, any physical activity I did was for joy and play. I would sprint and my dog would sprint with making sure I didn't get too far out of his watchful eye.
