I don't feel like I have been very motivated to run OR to blog about running! I don't know what my deal is!
I have been sick for more than two weeks, which is super annoying. It is this lingering thing that I can't really put my finger on - stuft head, headaches, sore throat. I don't know why it is taking so long to go away! As such, it has made running a bit of a pain, and days that I am not running with SR, I can hardly get out the door (like today!).
I did have my first race in what felt like ages - the St Paddy's day 5 mile. I was coming off three days off due to this cold, and I knew going in that I wasn't going to set any records. As such, I was sort of pleased to fair as well as I did - not a PB but only <20 seconds off it, and it was a Horrendous day - rain, wind, freezing! So that was okay - I was 5th lady, same as last year, and like to think that I could have been a couple closer if I had been feeling better.
I am sure it will come back - the weather is hopefully going to turn, and I just got two new pairs of shoes, which is exciting to try out. I am no longer in the S&C class that I was, so need to try to maintain my motivation on that front on my own. There are a couple races coming up, so need to get healthy and get ready for those.
As for dad, he is doing all right and still holding his own. I haven't really seen him too much recently, which I don't like - he has just been busy and had a couple sick days last week too. We have our trip to FL coming up pretty quick, so that will be a nice time - some more sunshine and some Disney-filled fun! Springtime will be very welcome around here - blue skies and rejuvenation!
