Morning!  I have 6 and weights if I can breathe tonight.

We found out what the asthma flare up was.  I got a "new" bookcase from the courthouse on Friday afternoon, as my mentor did.  Him and I have been sick with asthma ever since.  His have mold; mine have something.  They are removing mine today.  Hoping this is the end of it.  Fuck.

Good luck, D2!

Lily, I would not worry.  The mind also gets tired and it needs a break.  A week off won't hurt your endurance.

Well I did not run yesterday and I'm starting to worry. I have skipped half of my runs since NYC. Nothing is wrong physically, it's a mental thing. grrr... I'll be in Merida, Mexico, in two weeks and there is a half there that I would like to do. According to last year's results, I would have a chance at first place AG (out of about 100). But if I can't resume normal training, then I'll have to forget about it.

 

Hoping that I'll want to run tonight, the number of miles doesn't matter...

 

Have a great day everyone!

You need a break. Take one. You'll be fine for your half. 2 weeks of "training" will make no difference and you probably need the recovery more.

 

I (and most definitely everybody else on here) hope that was the problem and you get to feeling better real quick once it's gone! I sure as hell wouldn't want you to have to quit running, or cut back on your distance races.

Awww, thanks.

I took today off because I can since I am not training for anything.   

FYP

It's wonderful thing!

Rest day for me.  Will be picking up my packet after work for my 5K tomorrow morning.

Went to the football game last night, so am kind of dragging today at work.  My university team is doing terrible this year -   a record now of 3-7 and we're down to our 3rd string quarterback, the first 2 being injured early in the year - but we managed to eke out a win, but it was a SLOW darn game and pretty boring, no real offense.  We only had 4 field goals and won the game in the last 5 seconds with a field goal, final score, 12 - 10.  Sheesh.  The funny part was the party before the game.  The temp here yesterday dropped like a lead balloon going down.  So at the tailgate party it was around 39 degrees.  We were under some shelter and had some heaters in the pavilion but could still fee the cold somewhat.  So there we are in our hats and gloves and holding drinking our cold beers with our gloved hands, lol.   This game was also "Military Appreciation Day", to there was a really nice ceremony recognizing all active duty and retired folks - of which I was one, being retired Air Force - and a really nice half-time show where a Wounded Warrior Veteran was presented a key to his brand-new house -  donated to him and his family by a local credit union, so no mortgage payments - that will accommodate his disabilities received in Afghanistan - and he was thanked for his service with a standing ovation and I don't think there was a dry eye in the stadium when that was going on - and then there was a very nice presentation by the university band while a giant American flag was unfolded across the whole football field byt the university ROTC folks, pretty cool. Half-time was the most un-boring part of the whole game.  After the game I saw more people shaking the hands of the band members and the ROTC folks than the players, pretty funny and, at the same time, also sad.

Hats and gloves, scotty?  Is it 65F?
