It’s pretty crazy how this week is the last week of January. Time is a flyin’!
I wasn’t very productive last week as I was hit hard with what I think was the flu. I had a low grade fever, snot, body aches, head aches, the works. Ew.
I rested Monday, and Tuesday I really started to feel it coming. I managed some core and glute work at the gym and 3 miles in the evening that were fast–I think because I just wanted it to be done. It was nice to see splits in the 8s though, despite feeling crappy.
Wednesday and Thursday though?
I was out. I felt so miserable, I was thankful my husband was in town as I called him asking for a sick day. He came home early so I could rest and boy, I needed it. (I did drag myself out of my bed to register for the New York Marathon Lottery though, lol!)
I felt a little better Friday and managed 20 minutes on the bike and some planking but my body was so weak and achy from being sick. 😦
I rested Saturday and did my “long” run on Sunday. I wasn’t looking forward to it as much as I wanted to because I still wasn’t 100%. I wanted 6 but managed to get in 5 miles and was so happy I had company for them.
Miles with my MRTT crew
And that was my week. Finally, I feel like a human being this morning and hope I can get some energy back to continue my Phoenix 1/2 Marathon training.
Hoping you guys had a better week than me!! We had amazing weather here in Arizona and I couldn’t even enjoy it, ja!
–If you’re stateside, how are you handling Snow-ville?
–Do you become a super baby when you’re sick? I totally call my mom and cry to her, lol!
–Did you put your name in the NYC Marathon Lottery?
HELLY!!! If you’re running the NYC Marathon, we HAVE to meet up!
We got two feet of snow. I’m not complaining because we were nice and cozy at home with soup, and work got cancelled today.
Of course we would meet up!!!!!!!!
Sorry you had to deal with being sick – but so glad you are starting to feel better! Great job getting some runs in 🙂 Good luck getting into NYC! It’s a great race that I would love to do again one day, but not this year 😀
I’ve only heard good things from it! Fingers crossed!:)
the snowpocolypse is fuuun!! It’s scary at times when you’re just walking and then BAM you fall into a mound of snow, but the pre-made fortresses are making for some epic snowball battles!
omg, that IS scary!!!
oh, man! sorry to hear you were so sick. I was worried coming back from AZ and hitting the ridiculous cold that was DC coupled with flying that I’d come down with something. I felt totally run down for a couple days after getting back but luckily with a little rest and no exercise I was back to myself. Feel better my friend!
So glad you didn’t get sick. Sometimes going from opposite weather does it for you….or me anyway lol
Ugh, I’m sick too, and I am such a whiny baby. I’m over the hump now, but it was not a fun weekend.
Boooo!!!! Glad the worst is over—get well soon!!!
I was thinking about putting my name in the lottery!
We got snow DUMPED on us. I am handling it well. Puzzles, books, Survivor, and my kitties. 🙂
I don’t know how you guys do it. I couldn’t. Just couldn’t. LOL
Glad you are starting to feel better. It’s so hard to function when you are super sick and trying to take care of your family.
We missed the storm but another one will hit us soon I’m sure 🙂
Oh it was super hard!
I hope the next hit isn’t too bad!
I hope you are feeling better soon!!! Good luck for NY!!
Thank you!!!
You are most welcome! ❤
I hope you are feeling better. I was totally excited the other day when I realized that we are almost through January and have had decent enough weather to run mostly outside. Yay! I am so excited and hope you get into NYC. Then I will definitely get to see you as we will be out there for work then.
That would be awesome! I hope I get in but I really want my husband to too and I know that’s unlikely 😦
Being sick is the worst! Glad you are on the mend and got out to run. We got 5 inches on Saturday night so not too bad. Fingers crossed for NYC!
Oh man, 5 inches isn’t too bad?? lol!! I don’t know how you guys do it!
It’s so funny–I always associate being in Arizona with NOT being sick, but I guess allergies and such take no prisoners. We are balmy at 30 ish deg, no snow. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop…
I never used to get allergies. I blame kids. LOL
Ah, that sucks you got sick. Think of it this way though, you got it over with and out of the way! Now hopefully you’ll be fine and healthy for the rest of the training.
Glad you’re feeling better! Good luck getting into the NYC Marathon!!
Thank you!! fingers crossed 🙂
So glad you are feeling better and back to the running! I know 2016 is gonna be your year sweet girl!
Thank you so much K!! ❤
We’ve had a continuous snow-ville winter here in Reno so kudos to you that still lace up and get outside. I grimace and shutter and get to the nearest treadmill.
We got pounded with snow and are now on our 6th snow day. I can’t even right now. Glad you are feeling better, the flu is no joke and impressed that you still got some workouts in!! No NYC lottery for me as much as I would love to. I promised the hubby no marathons so he could do one. We have found it extremely difficult to both train.
That’s awesome that he is going to do a marathon!!!
