Hideous picture to go with an equally hideous week of running.
I was on top of the freaking world after my 57 mile week/200 mile month. It was awesome. And then I got sick.
I actually only missed 3 days of running, but one of them was a long run (which I started but cut short because my throat hurt too much and it just didn’t seem worth it to keep going) so I ended the week with a measly 25 miles. Fortunately this week I was able to get right back on track, and I’m grateful that it was a pretty minor cold.
Three more days until taper starts!
Monday – Rest
Tuesday – 7.66 miles (8:13 min/mile)
Wednesday – Track workout: 5 miles total, with 5 x 800 (3:14, 3:15, 3:15, 3:16, 3:11)
Thursday – 7 miles (8:17 min/mile)
Friday – Sick
Saturday – Sick
Sunday – 5 miles
Total: 25 miles
Don’t be too hard on yourself, Cate. You are one amazing athlete!
I wonder if you getting sick is due more to your students or Ellie’s friends at school!
