Realized after a week of being out sick with a chest cold/flu that I am working WAY to much. Time to scale back which may happen naturally now that the January nutrition rush is over. Invoicing today revealed that it was indeed a busy month. Good for the pocketbook...bad for training.
I have also had a hurdle of blisters to overcome. After "pushing through" a painful run I revealed toonie sized blisters on the back of my heals when I peeled my socks off. It's been over 2 weeks and they are still a little tender.
At T-4 weeks to a half marathon I am less than impressed with my stupidity.
So I could bitch....groan...sulk BUT I decided to use the half as a training run. At this point having a time under 2hrs is not in sight (especially running in snow) so now my goal is to complete it, not get hurt and keep on running in the weeks that follow.
Although I have to work part of this Saturday I am taking the afternoon and all of Sunday off so we can go crush some ice. It will lift my spirits and get me back on track.
