7 weeks to Boston – nothing to see here
OK, so getting really sick isn’t going to do your training any favours, but I had to bail on a whole week of training. That means a 16 mile long run, valuable hills and speed work and about 40 miles of my training overall. I’m pretty choked but I’ve simply moved on. At least I’ve run across a lot of people who are sick right now.
It wasn’t intentional, but my throat, sinuses and cough were still so bad by last weekend, that I couldn’t even just cram my Sunday run in. The risk for having to bail in the middle of it was simply too great. In fact I started to feel pretty good last Friday, thought I’d get my weekend running in and felt progressively worse through Sunday.
I’m actually writing this Wednesday, as I thought I should probably still have a journal entry for last week for posterity. I’ve started the next week out on the right foot, though, as I’ve already got a weight workout and 6+ miler with track intervals under my belt. My intention is to shorten my taper and actually still get the same number of long runs in. Here’s hoping for the best.
