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!
