I've been telling myself for a few weeks that I needed to get back on track with my training if I wanted to run the New Year's Double (but only the half on New Year's Eve). But training has been difficult with traveling and sickness. The good news is that my health is on the mend. I broke down and went to the urgent care clinic on Friday. A steroid shot to the butt and a round of antibiotics (sinus infection), and I'm feeling better already. I'm definitely not 100%, but I'm getting there.
Today was a test of how well I've been holding up and to see of I really can get trained up for December 31. I was able to make it for the full 8 miles I needed to run, without stopping, despite the difficulties breathing and the cold. My time wasn't great, but I did it. And my muscles held up well, just tired feet and sore hips.
Now I just have to decide whether to sign up for my next big race!!
