Getting Over the Last Few Hurdles

I have been MIA for several days. MIA from school, running, and blogging. Wednesday morning, I slogged through my run, but my throat was starting to hurt. What I thought was just disgusting sinus drainage, turned out to be full blown strep throat by Thursday morning. I made it into school to get set up for a sub, but by the time I made it home, I took a shower and passed out in my bed for 5 hours. I felt so ill, I didn't even make it to the clinic until 2:00 p.m. Needless to say, I ended up taking Friday off as well. Total weekday mileage of 12.

By Friday afternoon, I was feeling like a real person again, and decided I would attempt at least a few miles of the trail run I had planned for Saturday. Well, once I hit the trails with great company, all pain was lost and I made the entire 22 miles. That felt AWESOME!

Sunday, I was still not quite myself and decided although I had kind of low mileage for the week, my body needed the extra day off. So my mileage for the week was only 34.

Today is the start of my new/fresh week and I hit the pavement by 4:30 a.m. and pounded out 6 great miles. Only ONE long run to go!!!! CRAZY!!!!
