I have not been for a run or updated my blog since Thursday. My daughter caught a stomach flu bug last week and it finally caught up with me on Friday.
I don’t like skipping runs but Friday I felt like I had been hit by a truck and I spent most of yesterday in bed. Needless to say running was out of the question and I did not have any motivation to update my blog since then.
Fortunately this bug hit me early in my marathon training instead hitting me in May right before race day.
I decided to call in sick today so I could get more rest and it seems to have done the trick. I am feeling much better now and I am planning to head out shortly for a run. On schedule today is an easy 8 km (5 mile run).
I am looking forward to being able to get my training back on track. It looks like a great day for a run. Although it is cold out (-17 C or -25 with the windchill), least the sun is shining.
Sorry you have been sick Patrick! Good to hear you are on the mend though, hope your return run went great!
Thanks Tim. The return run was tough but it felt great to be running again.
