Add another DNS to my list

This morning, I was supposed to run the Celtic Solstice 5 Miler.

I did not.  In fact, I’m pretty sure I slept through most of it.

Why?  Well, I opted to listen to my body.  This week has been a rough week, with choir rehearsals running long (come to our concert today or tomorrow!) and me getting very little sleep.  Thursday, I was in bed by 7, woke up at 5:30, and was still exhausted.

I’m also fighting off something.  A cold of some sort.  Today I feel a bit better, but I was definitely under the weather yesterday.  Headache, congestion, the norm.

Add to that the fact that they were predicting a wintery mix, that I would have to race home from the race to make my call time at the Cathedral for today’s concert, and the fact that I got home after 11 last night, and I decided skipping was the plan.

I don’t like to add another DNS to my list, but sometimes I just have to play it smart.

Tomorrow, I want to get in at least a 5 mile run before I head back to the Cathedral.  I’m feeling like a slug, since I’ve gotten zero physical activity the past week and I’ve also eaten two meals comprised entirely of cookies.  Delicious, but not so nutritious.
