I am still coughing. A lot.
I am getting depressed and frustrated all at the same time. I decided that I just can't wait any longer for this cough to go away. I just HAD to work up a sweat! Oh, how I had missed it! Isn't that funny? Missing jogging on the treadmill and sweating like a pig? There is something about keeping my heart at an elevated rate that just makes me insanely happy at about the 30 minute mark. It is indescribable.
I wasn't sure if I would be able to sustain my heart rate for very long before my lungs closed down, so I took it easy. After all, this was my first time back in almost a month!
Happily, I was able to keep it up for 45 minutes, and even was able to increase my speed towards the end. I was a bit disgusted that I only managed a 5K in that time, but I plan to go again tomorrow and do better.
I am coughing a bunch again tonight, but I am not going to let that stop me from going to the gym anymore, since exercising doesn't seem to make the coughing worse.
Hurray!
