Wow, it's been a really rough week. I've been feeling sick and missing my runs...work has been crazy, my house is a disaster area...the list goes on.
The last couple days I've been feeling somewhat better, so I've sort of caught up on my running. Ran an easy 5 yesterday and it was a cool, drizzley day. Ran 12.2 today with my girlfriend. OMG, toughest run yet...harder than the 20 miles last weekend. Okay, the 90*+ F day run may have been harder! Guess I'm still not 100% and I am sure feeling it now... I am just exhausted. Every muscle in my body is screaming, my stomach is a little upset from the energy bar I ate after the run and I have an inkling of a headache. I know, I know...gimme some cheese to go along with all the whining.
I'm now in the taper stage of training. The taper...cutting back on mileage to let my body repair itself for the big day. Wow. The Big Day. October 18th. Two weeks from now...11 short days from today. And, at this time, next Sunday, I should be enjoying a beer after running 26.2 miles!!!!!!
The day is on it's way...I have a birthday party and then Paul wants to get together...but I just don't know if I can make it...
Guess all I really have to say is...
...it's been a rough week...
