Aha - Under a month since I last posted. Better, better.
It doesn't feel like much has happened in that month....a lot of running in the rain! Spokane had record rain, so the sunny bits were too sparse to happen at the finite hours of running time. There was also some slush, hail, and snow running time mixed in there too. Character building I guess!
I finally got over the illness though it sure seemed to linger in my head and sinuses. Seems to be all right now though. We have been gearing up for Bloomsday, which is first weekend of May, and it will be a toughie. Some of the track workouts have been a real challenge, but I have been pleased with maintaining. We did a hard workout on the course a couple weeks back and I felt like that is the best run I had had in weeks.
This weekend is the Susan Komen 5k, so should be interesting to see where I am at fitness-wise - I really have no clue! I would really like a 5k pb since it has been ages since I had one, but who knows. I am sure some good gals will turn out to push the pace! Then Bloomsday is two weeks later and that is always a challenge.
We just spent a great week in Disney World which might have hampered my running but not my spirit! We did lots of crazy running around, it is all a bit intense, but was really a fun time. The running was at least flat and hot! Dad seemed to really enjoy, zipping around in his scooter. He still seems to be doing pretty well and the docs are still pleased with his determination. Just gotta keep living and being active. As always, I am grateful to get to be with him so much.
Lots of my friends will be running the London Marathon next weekend - I will think of them in my (hopefully) sprint finish in under 18 minutes of 5k racing!
