If you don't know I have been sick with a pretty nasty cold since last weekend - I missed out on a ton of running this week/weekend. I ran my 5 miles Monday - felt okay, ran 8 on Tuesday and it was AWFUL! I was dizzy most of the run, had to take breaks but, pushed myself and finished. That night I had no energy and started getting even more sick.
I was supposed to run 6 miles on Wednesday but me and Joe decided it would be better to rest that day and hopefully Thursday I would be up for my 3 miler. Thursday came and there was no way I was even going to be able to do my 3 - I felt terrible. I figured all this rest would benefit me and I would be ready for the Spring Thaw 20 miler Saturday. Friday whatever I had moved to my chest and I was out, there was absolutely no way I was going to be able to do 20 miles - I was bummed!
I have been looking forward to the Spring Thaw since Joe told me about it back in January. I felt like I let him down by not being able to go, and that I let a friend down I was supposed to take with me. I have been pretty down all weekend - I really would of loved to see what I could of done at that run and it would of felt great to have a 20 miler done this early in training.
Today I woke up feeling better then I have - I really want to get back on track with my running this week. I am actually looking forward to a good run since I had to miss so much. Looking at my weekly milage bummed me out - 13 for the week and normally I am at 45.
Sorry this post is mostly depressing - next week will be better!
