Well, the sore throat I started out with on Saturday night is actually strep. Aside from feeling physically run down, I am mentally beat down, too. This is my second week without a workout, and I see Kristin killing it every day, and I just feel left behind.
The doctor said I should be able to at least complete 5 miles on Saturday, but I just have to listen to my body. It's really frustrating because I really want to be able to try to set a PR at the Race for the Cure 5k. With the two weeks off, then recovery next week, I fear I'm going to be in no shape for that.
I realize it's not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things - which is the Tulsa Run and the Half Marathon in January, but it's really difficult to be forced to sit on the sidelines without a choice while your partner kills each and every workout.
All that being said, I have to use apply my favorite saying, here: "S.I.U." I have to just suck it up, and work with what I've got.
I'm never going to give up.
You can't help what's going on with your body. Please don't beat yourself up about it. Once you're recovered, you're going to kick some major tail!! I just know it. I'm proud of you, no matter what!!! Love you!!!!!!
