SICK

Well, indeed I never made it out of the woods. I am feeling a bit under the weather. I believe I am through the worst of it however. Yesterday and last night were the worst and I still managed to get my training in. I don't think I will be training today although I'm already feeling guilty about it. Last night, feeling very ill and a bit preoccupied I did in fact swim a 35 minute mile-- I want to get the 500 meter swim down to less than 10 minutes for my triathlon, so this is a good thing. I have very strong arms and shoulders now after all the weight training I've been doing, so this should not be a problem. It was very difficult to do, because I am sick- probably shouldn't have done it but part of me thinks I can sweat through this illness. Being sick just doesn't fit with me.

On Saturday morning, (tomorrow-ugh) I have running interval training and then I have arranged for a bike ride with a friend. Looking forward to the biking but not the running, however my running is off track- I really want to get my racing down to a steady 8 minute mile- better if possible but I don't think so at this point.

The Chesapeake Bay swim in June will be a snap- I feel like I need to add another event- can't leave May alone. It is really fun to have goals like this.

BTW- my legs are KILLING ME. My personal trainer keeps boosting the weights- It was hard to walk down the stairs this morning.

Well, I suppose the thing to do is to go back to sleep. Don't want to though- I think I'll get up and test the waters. I went to sleep last night with wet hair, so I look like something from the Exorcist right now. I'll take a picture, hold on. There, now everyone can admire how I feel today.

FIVE FAVORITE THINGS:

1. not feeling so crappy at some point
2. not being thought of as an opportunistic infection (very unflattering name)
3. my legs getting very strong
4. the weekend
5. the prospect of an entertaining phone call.
