Sick = Rest

Miles in 2013: 451
Days until NYC: 118

That's right folks - I only ran 6 miles this week.  After my run Tuesday morning (which really wasn't bad with some pretty consistent mile repeats)  I came home took a nap and woke up with a sore throat.  Not a good sign.  By the time I woke up the next morning I was full on sick, aches, chills, hot flashes, miserable.  I even went to the doctor who was nice enough to tell me that I hadn't been sick long enough to really have bronchitis yet but gave me a hearty dose of antibiotics and steroids.  Here it is 4 or 5 days later and I still feel terrible.  Luckily, this week had 2 "on your own" runs, both of which I planned on doing, and both of which I missed.  Apparently this was my bodies way of saying that I needed to rest - ok, ok, ok I get it.  I'm hitting the pavement Tuesday regardless of how I feel because I am going stir crazy!  I also have 16 miles on Saturday, and a 5k (with a medal of course) on Sunday.

At the doctor's - sick ain't fun


On  a side note, I received my registration code for the charity spot for the NYC Marathon and am officially registered with my transportation and baggage options all selected.  I'm also 57% of the way to my fundraising goal!  If you haven't had a chance yet check out my fundraising site and make a donation if you can.  If you've already donated, thank you so much and how about you suggest it to a friend that they match your donation!
