I was one lap late to training tonight but accomplished the rest of the exercises. Still battling a chest cold, I carried my ihaler with me through the entire practice. I had to use it twice during the workout, mostly for preventative concerns, in addition to the couple of puffs I took immediately prior to practice.

Despite the annoying hacking cough (which, incidentally, is keeping me up at night), I did pretty well. At the end of the last 800 I had some chest pain but felt relatively good by the end of the cool-down. The chest pain was a welcome alternative to the sensation of wanting to vomit I've had during previous track trainings :-).
