Got some stuff done around the house. Not much, but a little. Purchased my airline tickets, and of course now I&#8217;m nervy, since they asked me to buy airline tickets before I&#8217;ve actually signed a contract. Which is like, I felt crazy doing it. What if something happens, what if they misunderstood something I said or whatever? I don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;ve never done this before, so I&#8217;m worried. Well, if I do end up there, at least I am allowed to work and live there, so if something falls through I&#8217;m sure I can figure something out. It will just make things really difficult for a bit. But point is, there&#8217;s some fear there. I mean this is a huge step right. So understandably, I have some concerns. But as I said, I have a cushion, insofar as I am a citizen there and I am allowed to work there, so worst case scenario, I just have to turn around and ask some friends for help and land on my feet. But I&#8217;m not expecting things to go wrong, I&#8217;m just generally neurotic.<br \/>\nNo running didn&#8217;t help that, but at the same time, I really needed the rest, so much so I may put my long run off until Monday, instead of doing it tomorrow like I planned. Not only did the streak take its toll but the sickness has definitely fatigued me well. While I&#8217;m feeling much better today, my chest is still congested and I&#8217;m just trying to get that cleared out. Being an asthmatic, and having chest congestion does not make for a good combination on a cold long run.<br \/>\nAlright, I&#8217;m going to stop writing, because it&#8217;s making me worry more, ha! So have fun, keep running and remember; If Gil can run then so can you!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-673\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=673&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-673\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=673&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=673&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=673&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-673\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=673&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=673\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=673&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-673\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=673&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time in a month and a half, I took a day off from running.
