i'm so antsy and a.d.d. and i sure as hell haven't been able to concentrate worth shit at work. i have too much on my mind, too much planning and dreaming going on. and my impatience is gonna kill me!!!
plus! i. havent. been. able. to. run.
do you understand how hard that is?! how freaking frustrating that is?! all the energy i usually get out of my system during a run just keeps recirculating through my body with no constructive outlet.
because i still have my sinus infection, i've been told to relax and not stress my body until i'm well. and because i have a new pain in my foot, i can't even freaking walk. for exercise anyway. and it's driving me freaking crazy!!
the good news is my new allergy meds are working like a dream, so any recurring sinus issues are unlikely. i just need to be a good little patient and spend the next couple of days that i have left of my antibiotics to stretch. and maybe i can start off the month of october with a nice, refreshing run!!
i have a ten mile race on the 8th, and i'm concerned i've been out of commission for too long to run it well. i swear to bob the running gods don't want me to race. i mean it's 11 days til the race and i've run only 4-5 miles since my horrible half over a week ago! argh!
but i can't help but get excited!! like i just want to jump out of my skin! race expo! fried rice the night before! cool new race shirt! being among THOUSANDS to race through the city! running in front of my friends!!! i can't wait!
i just so, so hope my body can keep up with my heart this time!

Whoo; you are a ball of pent-up energy! I absolutely know how it is when you can't run. Try 3 months without it. Yeah. That was me back in April, and it wasn't any sinus infection; twas hip bursitis and piriformis syndrome. Talk about wanting to jump out of your skin.
You will be fine, I think. Rest up and then do a couple of long runs, and you'll get your groove back.
