Managed to go for another run in the neighborhood after work today. I really like the fact that I can just walk out of my front door and start running. I did the same route as yesterday for 32 minutes doing 10 and 1′s. Wish I didn’t have to do 10 and 1′s! I still have a cold which seems to have worsened in my upper chest. Although I could breathe through my nose a bit better today, I couldn’t get the air into my lungs very efficiently. And my legs seemed to feel like lead. No pains anywhere though. I just need to get over this cold and get some more energy. I recognize that this has been a pretty draining week for me in several ways. I am hoping I will recover a bit given I have the next 4 days off for the Easter weekend. But I know next week isn’t going to be much better. I hope to get in another short run tomorrow afternoon… might go to Wascana Park for that one. Then need to get in a 16-18K run on Saturday or Sunday. That seems impossible right now but I hope I can do it. Considering my setbacks with being sick, looks like my goals for this race have to change: instead of beating my time, I am now just hoping to cross the finish line.
