Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Last week was a good week.  I got in all my workouts along with yoga and weights.   I ended up with probably too much "speed work" for where I am in building my base, so I am going to back off this week and only do one speed work out and my hills in my long run on Saturday.   This is also a challenging week with everything going on at work so I am going to rest if I need it.

Monday:  7 easy

Tuesday:  4-6 ( we will see, I have a late meeting and will not get home until midnight on Monday)

Wednsday:  Yoga ( have to be at the office at 6 am, so again - we will see)

Thursday:  7 moderate speed work out

Friday:  4-6

Saturday:  10 - 12 w/ hills

Total milage:  32 - 38

I have been feeling sick for the past week but kept telling myself it was allergies - it is not.  Most likely a sinus infection, but I am still in denial because then it will go away, right?

I had planned on taking the entire run easy and I did but I added lots of hills in as well, just took them nice and slow.   My hip really bothered me through out and I started having some pulling in my right achilles.  They could be related, not sure yet.  

Happy Running!

Yoga and stretching.  I focused on my hips and then stretched my hip flexors and the pulling on the piriformus and insertion of the IT has seemed to die down - Yeah!  Will test it on the road on Thursday.    

Had to be at the office by 6 am and felt horrible all day yesterday so took the day off and I am feeling better.

Rough night and still not feeling well, so one more day.   I am in no mood to push and still be sick in a week.  Too much to do.

Felt great and got out and took it easy.  Unfortunately it did not last.

Woke up feeling sick again - I am getting frustrated but given the current state of my life, it is to be expected.   I started on vitamins despite the side effects and I am going to try to eat 3 meals a day and  work on the content.   I never thought I could miss meals and not notice, but I have found out I can  and the quality of what I have been eating is horrible.   

Took the day off and hopefully by Monday I can be back at it, at least even for easy miles.

Happy Running!
