I wouldn't give up on the goal so easily. As it stands now you only need to average 13 miles/week for the rest of the year, compared to 12 miles/week if you hadn't missed anytime. I think you can do it.

I hope you feel better soon. May be while your respiratory system recovers there is some light strength and flexibility training you can do to make getting back into running easier when the time comes. I think you still have a good shot at your goal too.

Ugh, I hope your feeling better. I agree with the others. Keep on plugging away. The year has barely started. There is plenty of time to catch that darn bunny.

Well after telling you not to stress, I'm now in the same shape. I've been sick a week now The bunny will catch and pass me tomorrow. I just hope I can get over the crud by the weekend.

they stopped the brace but are suggesting that I don't run as much

That's too bad. Hope you improve soon. During my down time, I have considered going back to the bike for my exercise, but running is so much easier. One good bike ride will take me 1.5 to 2 hours minimum, and I don't feel safe riding after dark. I can get in a run in 30 to 45 minutes and do it after dark or before sunrise during the winter. With the bike though, I never had foot or knee issues. Just the pneumonia and sinus infections. I got the latest issue of Runners World in the mail yesterday and really got the urge to hit the street. After my recovery, I'm going to give running one more consistent try.

well, I ran 1.5 last night simply because I had to.

I think my hubby has the same thing.....he's starting his 4th week. I've never see "stuff" like this hang on so long and effect the breathing so much. Take care.......we'll still be here and we are all hoping you get to feeling better!!!!
