Bad Week

So when I wrote last I had all intentions of being super positive on my next entry, well life threw me a screwball last week! I ended up getting strep throat from my lovely daughter. I couldn't believe how worn out I felt. Stupid bacteria's anyway!! Needless to say by Friday night I had only logged in 11 miles so to fulfill my goal, that would require a pretty major run on Sat. I got all gung ho about running after the kids went to bed so that we could spend the day together (I had promised them we could go play in the backyard) I put them to bed, got on the treadmill and my knee decided it was done after 5 miles. So I walked for a mile and decided I could do another running mile, then I walked another mile and ran another mile! So all in all I ran 7 miles and walked 2. That put me 2 miles short of my goal, but way further than I thought I would get at the beginning of the week. I ended the month with 93 miles which was more than last month so I felt pretty good about that. Just gotta keep listening to these aging bodies and go with what they tell us right?! Hope everyone is having some success in all their training. BTW Ragnar training officially started so those who have been lazy, you better get up off that couch!! (yes Bucky, that means you too :) Happy Running!
