After a week in the mountains with rainy scotland-like weather I come home to have my growing sore throat sickness turn into a full blown cold. Mon (9/28) 3mi run- Progressively feeling more sick and achy as the day went on so I took the evening off. Throat is so sore and my joints ache. My voice also started to get more froggy as the day went on.
Tue (9/29) 45min bike- Feeling less achy but still a bit weak. I went to the gym and biked. SO much green snot!
Wed (9/30) 3mi run + 10min bike- I elected to just run 3miles at the steadiest pace I could manage. I felt super weak and slightly sick because I left the house in a hurry to get to my ceramics class thinking I'd grab breakfast on the way but... I missed the turn for the Bojangles close to class and decided to just go on to class instead. I ended up working diligently for 7hours om my piece in order to finish sculpting it. But I neglected to take a lunch break and was VERY hungry after I left the studio. I swung by a Wendy's and picked up a crispy chicken sandwich and a small frosty for $2- I figured it'd be the best calorie bang for my buck but... when I went for my run I still felt hungry and weak but at the same time sick because the chicken sandwich and ice cream didn't seem to be sitting so well.
Fri (10/2) 7mi run + 80min bike- It seemed a bit excessive to bike for 80min on top of my 7mi run so I only biked for an hour instead. Being sick and running less mileage in the last week or so I don't want to ramp up the training too much in one day.
Sat (10/3) 75min cross- I got to the gym a little late and only had 40min to work with so, I biked for 10min, ellipticaled for 20min, and then finished with a 10 min bike. I left the headlights of the car on for 20 min before someone told me they where on and I could run out to tun them off. It was just enough to drain the battery. So, I was very glad we keep jumper cables in the car so that I could get back home.
Sun (10/4) ice + roll- I didn't feel very sore or tired today and didn't really wanna take an Ice bath on such a cold rainy day.
Because I didn't run the Wild Vine Race on Sept 26th and I didn't want to pay the money ($80-$90) to run the race this weekend when my parents are coming to visit I will not be submitting a proof of time for the Disney Marathon. I will not have a pace based starting coral and I will be starting in the very back of the pack. This causes me mixed feelings but it may be good for my first marathon? I'll find my pace at the November Battleship marathon in Wilmington.
