Sick
I was out running Sunday on my weekend long distance run, and I began to struggle about 6k into the run. I started aching and not feeling very good. I was struggling to maintain a comfortable pace. I knew something was wrong just 30 minutes into the run. I ended up stopping at 7k and walking back home. I can't say I wasn't frustrated, but I quickly discovered my problem. I was sick.
Apparently, my wife went over to her sister's house and picked up some nasty germs and brought them home. Unfortunately, she got strep throat and I got some type of cold. I spent Sunday and today in a partial fog. I felt weary and achy. Not a lot of fun. But I figure I needed to rest. No sense in pushing my body when it is under the weather. Hopefully, it will pass quickly so I can return to training. Especially with my first race only six days away. I would hate to lose too much fitness before the big day.
