Thank GOODNESS that Derek and I had nothing planned this weekend. I was completely overcome with a sickness on Friday night and am still fighting the darn thing. I'm really praying that I get well by Thursday or Friday latest. Saturday morning is the Half Marathon again and I have a new goal! I've been running really strong all year and it's so much easier to jog 6 or 8 miles than it was last year before the race.
Last year, I completed it in 2 hours and 29 minutes.
New goals:
Still sick goal = Under 2 hours 20 minutes
All healed goal = Under 2 hours 15 minutes
Fingers crossed that this sickness gets OUT of my body soon! My friends Nyquil, Sudafed, Mucinex and Naproxen are all helping me fight fight fight!
Oh yeah, sorry for no pictures from this weekend, but since we really didn't do much, we really didn't snap any pictures! Exciting news though - since our old camera died on us, we ordered a new camera that should be arriving this week.
That's awful, Sarah! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteSorry you aren't feeling well. Don't push yourself too hard this weekend if you still aren't feeling great.
ReplyDeleteI ended up having to take 7 sick days & I'm still not feeling great 3 weeks after my first symptoms showed up!
I know that's NOT what you want to hear, but I don't want you to feel worse & be out even more. Sending healthy thoughts your way :)
Just listen to your body and have fun out there on the course. As you know, you'd be far better off running the first 8k conservatively, then gauge how you're feeling and kick it up a notch for the last couple of miles. The proverbial cookie will crumble however it wants...so if you find yourself getting frustrated and constantly looking at your watch--turn it off. :)
