i got up at 4:30 to start getting ready for my 6 am, 16 miler. i certainly wasn't in the mood, but damnit i haven't missed a long run yet and i wasn't about to start now when it counted the most.
but once i got out there, i just blech, didn't have it. i've run through a sinus infection before (my first half marathon to be exact) but i remember it being pretty miserable. and after 2 miles, i wasn't feeling so hot and i figured it would just be best to pack it up and go home.
i've been feeling pretty crappy the past 10 days, minus the day of my 5k, and don't know whether it's because i'm sick or because my head is in the crapper. probably a combo of both. so on the drive home i resolved to not let this get me down and do whatever it took today to make me feel good.
which so far has included taking a long, hot shower and shaving! i've made up a pretty face and donned a dress i bought a month ago but haven't yet worn because i haven't had the occasion. the plans also include a pedicure, a waxing, a haircut, a nice healthy lunch alone with a long way down by nick hornby. by then, i should be ready for a nap. or a movie.
happy thursday, peeps!

Wow. Nice day.
You should feel better after all that!
first off, I hope you feel better physically when the day is over. secondly, like I said to Jess, I'd say to write off the long run, unless you really feel up to it in the next 2-3 days. Otherwise, regroup and start over, you'll be fine.
Best not to run with a sinus infection if you fel that awful. Rest up and you'l tackle the next one better.
I give you prop just for being up at 4:30!
I hope you feel better soon!
Apparently just one prop, because I can't type.
PROPS!! Damn keyboard. :)
Very nice! I would have added some icecream somewhere in there, but that's just me.
You'll get better and be in perfect shape for your marathon! I just know it!
4:30am definitely counts for something, chica!! Don't sweat the run. Now go have yourself a good time :-)
NO WAY!! I am reading that book!!! I'm about 3/4 done.
You and me, MPA -- too many parallels!
OK, so the hair cut should of toatly made you feel wonderful! Its' my favorite way to get a morale boost! Althoguh, last time I was so down on myself, I had 10.5 inches cut off; turns out I like it better.....I may even go a little shorter next cut.
I'd liek to say waxing makes me happy, but its hot wax ripping the hair out of my legs & quite frankly, it kinda jsut pisses me off! until the next day, then I'm felling extra sexy.
One question......how could you leave a new dress [or anythign for that matter] in the closet, FOR A MONTH?????
I'm a wear it outta the store girl...if I get like 3 things, you can bet i'll have them on the next 3 days--when I got my wedding dress, I tried on EVERYDAY for like the first month. . . then it went to alterations :o)
Hope your feeling better!!! You're so suportive of me!!! I"m kinda sad for you!
