Last year it was injuries - this year it's been illnesses. Miss N started Pre-K3 this fall and y'all...I have never been so sick in my life as I've been these past 5 months. The most recent one earned me an prescribed inhaler.
Me.
Now I know you don't know me that well, but let me just mention a few things about me. My lung capacity is almost legendary in my family (who spent most of her early years crying the loudest and longest of 6 cousins?
Then I became Charles Henry Warren to Miss N's Typhoid Mary... I've finally (mostly) recovered
So here I am - in February itching to run but snowed in. On Miss N's 3rd straight snow day, I snapped and registered for a 5K two weeks from now, a 5 miler in April and on Mother's Day, a 5K in July and August, the Zooma Cape Cod Half Marathon in September and plan on the Army 10 Miler in October.
Great - but now I have to train for all this! Way to go cabin fever girl...
So what I'm doing right now is stretching my legs a bit by running at the gym since its so icy out. I ran 2.5 miles just yesterday so while the 5K won't be pretty - but it'll be doable. Once I get past that - I'm going to concentrate on a long-view training plan with Zooma as the goal.
