AM - 2.05 easy miles to shake things out after dealing with injury then sickness. Still not feeling 100% in terms of my health, but I took it very easy (average of close to 9:00/mile), and only did 2 miles. No cramping in the calf (I have also been taking my vitamins), felt so easy I didn't even break a sweat until 1 1/2 miles into the run. That is a good sign to me. I may try to do a little more tonight, depending on how I feel, but my health is the most important thing right now. I still have 4 1/2 weeks before St. George, and taking it easy this week is not going to affect my fitness.
PM - my sinus infection has flared up, and I went to see the doctor to get some antibiotics. Rather than risk pushing my body too hard when it is already down and injuring myself, I am going to lay low for the rest of the week and resume training next Monday. I am at peace with this decision, and feel it is the best for my body. On a side note, I am so excited to have seen the announcement for the pre-SGM fast running blog pasta party! We are so there! |
