I first got sick on February 18... it is now March 29 and I still have a little bit of a lingering cough that comes and goes in phases. I've done a few runs in that time period, but not many, and none for the last week or two. It is so frustrating - all I want to do is go on a nice long run, a nice long swim, a nice long bike ride, etc...!
Now that I have taken so much time off I have probably lost so much fitness, which makes me sad... it's like basically starting over from ground zero. It also means that I probably won't make a spring marathon this year... *sigh* I guess I will just focus on building up a good, solid base and getting faster at shorter distances (and triathlons) for spring and summer, and then hopefully destroy my old marathon PR in the fall. I know that once spring (and the Rock N Roll marathon) comes around I will be wishing that I was doing a 26.2... but sometimes life gets in the way, what can you do?
So here is my plan for this week:
Monday - 3 + swim @ gym
Tuesday - 3
Wednesday - Spin/swim @ gym
Thursday - 4 + yoga
Friday - Off
Saturday - 4
Sunday - 5-6
It's not very structured yet but I will have to figure out how I want to balance things when I start adding more mileage.
In other news... the part time job at the Tavern is going really well so far. It's been a lot of fun and it's a nice change of pace from sitting at a desk all day! Fridays are tiring from working 8-4:30 and then 5-10 or 11, but so far so good!
Hopefully I will be able to update the blog more often now that (knock on wood) I should be able to start getting back into the swing of things finally!
