Rough start to the week for me. Had a great 12 mile run Saturday morning but got stung by a yellow jacket later that morning in the side of the knee. Had an allergic reaction and am now the proud owner of a new epipen. . Swelling in my leg has finally gone down enough for me to get back out tomorrow. I haven't had 3 straight days off in quite a while. Not sure whether legs will feel rested or heavy but we'll find out. I'm lucky it wasn't worse. Can't wait for tomorrow morning.

I think all of you can be proud of yourselves for sticking to it and getting in some training runs, whether good or bad. I have done almost nothing for 10 days, and for no good reason-i simply didn't feel like it enough to go running! I think the loss of motivation has something to do with realising I am not going to run the time I had hoped in my half next month, and more or less saying "To heck with it." Anyway, I ran tonight, just over 10k, and didn't feel bad, cool night and a decent pace. Life goes on....no big deal.
I think I would consider myself lucky that it happened afterwards and not during your run and that you were able to recognize there was an issue and get it taken care.
Look at Teresa and Cheffy, who both have been trying to get over injuries, but they aren't giving up, so neither should you.
