Pieces
The illness which smote me down Saturday is still lingering around the edges. I am trying to pick up the pieces and put the puzzle back together but it is proving a bit more complicated than I would like.
Saturday night was a tough one with my fever breaking about 4:00 am in a batch of cold sweats.
Sunday was another unscheduled 0. My second of the training cycle and 2nd one in two consecutive weeks. I couldn’t even pull a shirt on over my head without feeling dizzy and figured a long run was not a good idea.
Monday I was feeling 100% better and went for a 9 miler at lunch and felt pretty good. I don’t think I was nearly 100% but compared to Sunday I was a new man.
Last night, thinking I was better, I tried for a PMP run on the course and only made it 4.5 miles of the tempo. I then just did a cool down back to the parking lot.
This morning I ran in on the trails via the railroad bed. It was wet and muddy but it made my shin feel so much better. I will head home the same way hope it holds together. I will stay on the soft surfaces for the duration of the schedule except for the workouts and hope it heals quickly.
That's all I got.
