What's your run?
2.7 mile walk, 60 min yoga, and all my hip, shoulder, and core exercises.
...and was just treated to a pre-marathon breakfast by a dear friend. :)
drills at the Y
for me too. Did the flat 4 yesterday after work, and saw KevinM coming back from his run lookin' lean and mean.
2 days 'til Sugarloaf!!!! Hope Michele has some energy left after bringing Suzanne in to help me out too :) Scared, nervous, excited, not quite sure what to do with myself. Oy.
Energy? . . . of course I will have energy left. Are you kidding me? If only I could find a way to bottle it up and sell it then I would be rich.
Good luck to all the runners on Sunday, I'll be on hand to help cheer you all on, and it should be a good bit of motivation for me as well!
Looking very forward to meeting you. It should be a fun day!
60 mins on the arc, 25 on the treadmill with three 1 min jogging intervals and 20 mins on the recumbent.
went out with the guys at work. Easy effort. Good jokes.
Is there an "s" in "tri lakes" ? Nice and relaxing run. Eliott rode through every horse doodoo he could find.
Again. Super slow today. Not feeling lean and mean at all. Still tolerating some annoying symptoms (sneeze, sniffle, cough, repeat). Ack!
Good luck all you marathoners! Enjoy the day, enjoy it all
*sigh*
It has been such a rough week. My husband and I had to tell my son on Monday that he is no longer welcome to live with us. I have been sad and worried all week, but started to battle through it and focus on Sunday and try to get excited.
Now, an hour ago, I find out that my Dad is in the ER with a suspected blood clot. Nobody wanted to tell me, but when they realized it might be serious they knew they had to.
I feel like the wind is getting knocked out of my sails over and over. I am trying SO hard to feel excited, but I'm not. I am trying so hard to FOCUS, but it is not working. I feel like everything is conspired against me. And I feel so self centered and self absorbed whining like this, when I should be at the hospital.
Help.
I'm sorry that things are so difficult for you and your family. I saw that you're dad is probably OK for right now, so that's very good news. Dealing with anything stressful during taper is a double whammy, though, so I very much understand your discombobulation.
I'd definitely advise getting as much support as you can from others right now. You're bouncing off the walls and full of energy and really need to run if you can. If your dad is stable, let others deal with the rest for a little while. Everyone will be better off, and you'll be able to get to Sugarloaf on at least 3/4 of a tank.
My $.02 anyway.
I'm so sorry to hear that you have had such a difficult week. That must have been an agonizing decision for the two of you to make, which requires a lot of strength. You are one of the strongest people I know, and one of the most giving too. Self-centered and self-absorbed are words that I would NEVER use to describe you. You will get through this.
Make your dad proud and have an awesome run at Sugarloaf. Love you!
Dad is back home, and my family has moved into "Get Suzanne To Sugarloaf Mode." Even my sister from NY is going to coordinate things for Mom and Dad while I am gone, if need be. And I hate to say it, but I am turning my phone off this afternoon. I love my son, but I need absolutely no drama tonight....and there are often late night, sometimes not so friendly messages from him.
I actually slept well last night, and hope that once Jimmy and I roll out of here I can start to feel the excitement. I've worked so hard and I want this so bad. Not just a good race....but a little fun, too.
Love you guys.
