So this week was supposed to be my back on track week. Raced three weekends in a row, celebrated by going to Disney World, then this week was back to race training for February. And maybe getting rid of the extra “fluffiness” that I have accumulated during all of this racing and eating. (Whoops.) Tuesday, I hit the gym. Ran a solid four miles. And then by the end of the day on Wednesday, I had a terrible cold. Didn’t even make it to work on Thursday because I felt like I was swallowing knives. And not in the magical way.
Hoped to get out on the roads again today, but it didn’t happen. I lifted weights for a while, and that felt good. Probably won’t make it to rehearsals tomorrow night because I have no singing voice, so instead, I might hit the gym and try to get in another 3-4. Gotta get back on track!
My daughter will be running our usual Thanksgiving day 5-miler (the Newport Pie Run) and I will be wimping out by doing the accompanying 3 mile walk instead. Will be joined in the walk by a niece and some as yet unknown number of family members in the walk or the run.
Hope you have a good Thanksgiving and your cold clears up enough for you to get back into your running/training scheduel.
