I hate being sick, I hate the runny nose, the cough the aches and everything else that comes along with it. Unfortunately that is how I spent the the end of last week. I always feel so guilty when I am sick, there are so many things I should be doing! After all, the world won't go on without me, it couldn't possibly....ok, so it goes on just fine without me, but I would like to think I am missed. I discovered a while back that I am not a good patient, I get grouchy and whiney and I don't like it at all, so I am really glad I am feeling better, not well, but better. I am sure my husband is glad too:)
I haven't run in a week and I am supposed to run a 10K next weekend, I have decided that I need to do the 5K instead, I don't run that fast and I don't want to be the lone person still running when everyone else is done waiting for the results. I am starting an official plan to help me prepare for the 1/2 marathon, so no more illnesses! I bought some running shoes a while back and everytime I get over 5 miles it feels like I am running with a rock in my shoe, I already returned them once and it didn't change anything. I have gone back to my old running shoes and I think I will bite the bullet and look elsewhere for a good pari of shoes, I don't want to attempt the half without awesome shoes. If anyone has any ideas on good running shoes please let me know!
This week has to be better than last week, this week I will stick to my schedule and meet my goals! I will think positively and look for the good in others. I will not let illness slow me down, let alone stop me. I have scheduled myself pretty tightly from Thursday on, so it should be interesting. It is a little stressful knowing all the stuff I need to do, but it feels so great when I havce accomplished it all.
The glass is always half full in my book (at least, sometimes it is overflowing) so I plan on having a great week, hope you do the same.
This is my favorite picture of me and my dad....a long time ago. Miss you dad
