1 week.

1 week from today i should be done with my second half marathon. GOD willing!

it has been a rough week. i am sick. i am stressed out (over many things). and i think my immune system has given in due to that.

i never get sick. last time i was REALLY sick was a few years ago. anything else has just been a bug here, there. nothing major.

i got antibiotics. i hope they help. working for a doctor is very convenient at times. :)

i am freaked out over this race. i am rethinking the whole (short) training time. i did go back and review my summer training, and i did more than i thought i did, but i am still freaked!

i am glad i waited to get sick til after my final long, LONG training run which ended up as 14.5 miles.

i have not run since this past tuesday, which was 6 miles. i am glad i did that because i have done NOTHING since then. not even walking. (does climbing staircases count?? i do that a lot at home and at work, on a daily basis). i was supposed to try to do 7 or 8 miles yesterday. that didn't happen. i hope maybe in a few days i will be able to at least attempt a few easy miles, just to get my legs ready.

i am so sore from coughing.

we will see what happens. i am hoping to finish the race in a better time than last, but at this point, i think i will be happy to finish, without collapsing from a coughing fit. at least i still have a week.
