AM - 1 mile. Stopped and walked home. Did not turn the corner. Mexico Death Plague Day #7.
PM - 2 miles w/ Andrea. That's all I manage. Our fitness curves are converging. But at least hers is going in the right direction!
Started a potent antibiotic course in the afternoon. First time taking antibiotics since I was 8-9 years old, but my body is losing this battle and I needed some help.
Obviously this illness throws a big wrench into the marathon training, on the heels of not being in great shape to begin with, a relaxed week in Mexico, and however long it takes me to fully bounce back from this. I was hoping to return from vacation and really hit it for 4-5 weeks and try to make a jump. At this point, going for a PR in a month isn't remotely realistic (it's impossible)... but I'm OK with that. I'll do what I can to prepare and go over to Europe with the intentions of having a good time during the "work" week in Vienna leading up to London, and run the best I can in the marathon.
Since spring skiing is going to be non-existent this year (the season is already almost over, so unfortunately I don't think ski mountaineering objectives are going to be the focus of May weekends), I'll probably pick another race or two in May/June and have a bit of a spring racing season.
