So, had hoped to do the san diego rock and roll marathon on june1 but it hain’t gonna happen . . .
Oh well, so is the life of a runner, right?
Life just got in the way. Got two kids under 4, we’re buying a house (holy shite!), we’re taking a family vacation and my husband has about umpteen trips out of town for business this and next month.
In the interim, I got sick, really sick, with the flu two weeks ago. Zstill recovering. Cough, sore throat, two weeks later. And, today when I ran, only 3.86 miles (i know, because i was aiming for 6!), I was short of breath STILL.
This sucks! Feel like I will never get better. Where are my long runs?
Already gaining weight . . . that is what happens when you stop running 35 miles per week and drop back to 12.
I hate it, but right now I can’t do anything about it.
So I’ve been doing tons of sit ups. Not helping, but still, feel as though i’m doing SOMETHING.
And I rode my bike 13 miles the other morning. that was nice.
So tomorrow my neighbor is taking the kids for a while so I can run. Should go to bed now. That’s early in the morning.
Anyway, that is it from here, just checking in. Bummed about the R&R race, but I’m planning to do long beach in october. That’s good. maybe I just need a rest . . .
Good morning!
Thank you for your blog- it entertained me for about half an hour yesterday before my kids got off the bus. I am running my first marathon in OKla. this Sunday and am excited and terrrified but your stories are helping calm me. Have run two half marathons so far this year but had bronchitis for the last month (!) and the training went to crap but am still gonna persevere (walk a lot). Hope all is well with the family! Thanks again for the inspiration!
