Sick & Starting Over


Wow. I've been sick. Traditionally I shake flu bugs pretty quickly but,not this time. Last Monday night I couldn't sleep. During Tuesdays run I was beat by mile 4 & there was no denying I was getting sick. A nasty headcold flu. My head felt like a balloon on the end of a string for days. I never actually took a sick day (idiot)but,did go home early three days in a row. I couldn't think straight & probably shouldn't have been driving. In the last couple of days I'm just now starting to feel normal.

Needless to say my running has been nonexistent. I feel like I haven't trained in a month. My aspirations for The Buzz 25K are but a distant memory. Time to regroup.
Rather than run 15 miles, I'll settle for running 5-6 short runs a week two weeks in a row. Why is Winter such a grind? Re-establish a base & take it from there.
