Siiiick

This is day 12 of the cold from hell. I am starting to get better but it really is a slow process. The lack of energy and lack of being able to breathe has been very bad for training.
I have only managed a 5k run in these 12 days. I did manage to get in two P90X workouts though. I have missed what I think are the two most important training runs in a training cycle. My 22k and my 24k runs. My 25k race is in 2 weeks and the longest run I've ever done, EVER is 21.5K. I might be ok physically, but psychologically, I'm not prepared for that distance.
It looks like I didn't update after the Hypo Half snow storm.
I took off work early on Monday after the storm and ran the half by myself. It was a beautiful day for a run but the sidewalks and roads were still snow covered. It made for a very long half. Over 3 hours.
I also had a fun training run (I thought for sure I posted about this run. Weird) Anyway, my daughter was racing at Dalplex a couple of weeks ago. 2 I guess now. (AUS was last weekend, so it was the weekend before). I thought I would run from Dalplex to home after her event. In the rain. Boy did it rain.
It was about 14k. Took me about 2 hours. Tech material is pretty cool. You don't realize how good until you get soaked in a rain storm. I didn't feel the rain at all. A little old lady took a tumble in the middle of a crosswalk on Robie street so I gave here a hand getting back up and crossed the street.
I also had a major freakout as I was crossing the Macdonald bridge. Scared of heights.








That's all my stop and gos. It was a pretty messed up freakout.


This weekend was a write off running wise and next weekend is not going to be good either. RV Show in Moncton this weekend and RV Show next weekend in Montreal. I also have 3 days to get 7 days of full time work to do this week. If I'm going to get in a long run it needs to be tomorrow. I guess we'll see how it pans out.
