I jokingly told my wife I wanted to go for a run yesterday based off
of this logic (which I have also have heard) – she was not impressed.
Especially after she had to shuttle the kids around alone for the
previous 24 hours while I moaned on the couch (I’m a whined when I get
sick!).

Even my husband running with me noticed! I was slower and it was taking more for me to breath and…my shins hurt! I hardly ever have shin pain, but in the early weeks of my pregnancy, my shins really hurt! This was before I took a pregnancy test and new that’s what was going on. It’s just interesting how your body can tell you something in its own way. :)

If I feel a cold coming on if go for a run it will often chase it away. I’m not sure if there is any science behind this (although I remember reading something a while ago about it stimulating the immune system), but it does seem to work for me.
Anyway, hope you get well soon….

Yesterday, I had a bad run, and was really confused, as i just started my 3rd week of 40 mile weeks. I was doing 7 miles, so it wasn’t like my body wasn’t used to it. But I just felt terrible during it, and same afterwards. I came home and took an hour nap! Later that day, I felt hot… Woke up today, and sure enough, I have a fever! Hopefully it will pass soon, I just had to revisit this article and express how right you were in writing this. I love your blog, and visit everyday, thank you!

Here’s an even earlier warning sign for illness… My college track coach years ago told me to check my pulse every morning — if it was elevated it meant you were coming down with something. Years later with a medical degree and all, I find this still works.
Insofar as this “debate” between ASICS and Zero-Drop, there IS highly pertinent peer-reviewed research which I did by the way (that traditional running shoes with an elevated heel increase knee joint torques compared to being barefoot), which I posted here – http://oeshshoes.com/blog/
Cheers, Casey

you wise advice about what to do in each situation!

One of the most important lessons a runner can learn is to listen to what their body is telling them. I have come to learn that my body has 3 possible responses to a run.
1) Happiness – Everything is great and I can keep running. All smiles.
2) Anger – Certain parts of my body start cursing my name and yelling at me to “STOP IDIOT!” which, I’ve learned through trial and error, translates to “There is an injury brewing and if you don’t listen to me then you’ll be in to see the orthopedist very soon. IDIOT.”
3) Zombie – My entire body says, “uuhhhggghhhmmrr.” Which means, “Everything is bad. Go back before you get too far away from home, and you’ll just have to call your wife to come get you, and then she’ll be mad, and you’ll just have to do something nice to make up for it. So just stop now. Just get me to the couch ASAP. Ok?”
