So, setbacks happen. I've managed to get sick close to the end of every major training endeavor. And it's been ok (one was even over 2 weeks of no training about a month before the race). Maybe it was really just my body telling me to slow down.
But a set back during week one of training? We'll see if I bounce back from this one. James' grandfather is not doing well, so we flew back to Maryland this weekend to say goodbye. Thankfully, he was very alert and even looking much better the day we left. BUT, because we flew back, that means no training for me (that sounds incredibly selfish). I brought my running shoes with the hopes of getting a run in, but no such luck. So here I am, Friday of week 2 and I have done a total of three workouts (out of a scheduled 8).
So now I'm at a crossroad. A power of will to keep going. Instead of building up to week three of my training, I'll basically be starting with it. Either I will push on, or I won't.
Ok, enough with the drama. Of course I'll push on, I'm too competitive to let two weeks win. In the words of Monica... MY TEAM ALWAYS WINS!
I have still yet to sign up for the half. The deadline for the race to be $200 is April 20. They accept 500 athletes. There are a little over 100 signed up right now. I think they should pay me $200.
