Need support...

 Ok, so I had a nasty respitory thing all last week, finally I am over that, so I started running again on Sunday and then again today.  My problem is that I have lost so much of my endurance in just a week, is that normal?  I was running 3 miles with no problems, and then I was able to run 3 miles plus with a little extra effort, but right now I get to about 2.5 and I find myself having to push to get the rest of my run in.  I just need to know if this is normal????

Thanks

 I am no doctor, though I did sleep in  holiday Inn last week, but I'd suggest if you had a respiratory issue, it will take some time to fully recover.  I know when I went down with Bronchitis it really took me out a bit, even some time afterward.  

i slept at a hilton garden inn last week, so i'm not even a pretend doctor :)

you really won't lose any or much endurance being out a week.  like andrew said, you are probably still recovering and your body is most likely run-down because of it.  i would just take it easy and listen to your bod.  good luck!

I really need to start staying at the Holiday Inn....Thanks guys...I am doing better, I just am frustrated because I have my 10k coming up at the end of the month and wanted to be farther along in my training, but I am a week behind now....I will have a little cheese with my wine....thank you very much....:))))))
