all in all, it has been a trying week on all fronts. my little one got sick, i ran awesome on tuesday, but hurt like heck on wednesday. it was only 2.5 miles when i cranked out 8 just 3 weeks ago! and work.....ahhh, not much to say there. it was work.
however, i have to keep on truckin'. i do have a half marathon that i would love to do, especially since i've already plopped down the 100 or so bucks that it takes to run one (and i still don't get a honker of a medal?!??!? boo.)
either way, i have a doctor's appointment today to figure out what my limits "should" be. and then, after, i will see if i want/need to listen. ahhh....you know you're a runner if....
doc says we're all the same: won't take no for an answer and run anyway. like a bad addiction, it's a hard habit to break. running pretty much keeps me on an even keel. alas, i would like to continue, AND let's not mention the fact that no one has given me a signing bonus or an amazing $25 million contract over the next five years despite injury to run my body into the ground.
so, i will take my awesome 2.5 miles and 1.5 days of recovery, thank you very much!
it is what it is....eyes on the prize, and for me, it's looking like it may not be this november half marathon i've been training for. i read somewhere to treat your body like a good friend. so fine. poop. time to listen to it....at least for now. ;)
