Old and slow

If you're a marathoner, especially if you're either "of a certain age" or a slower runner/walker, you'll probably relate to my posts. I've completed all the states, my total is over 80, and I've even collected a few age group awards along the way. But I'm always in the last 10% of finishers, thus my view is always from the back of the pack.

Caught a nasty bug

It's hard for me to believe that I'll feel like running another marathon in only 2 weeks. Somewhere in my brain, I know that I'll be back to normal by then, and probably have a good run. But right now, when my sinuses aches, my chest is congested, and my energy is drained, it's hard for me to imagine running to the corner. I had planned to at least walk on the treadmill last night, but I just couldn't work up the energy to get up. I hate feeling this drained.

This started more than a week ago, and I've been on antibiotics for 5 days. It's a slow recovery. When I do feel normal again, I vow to appreciate it.

Next week is the first of 4 weeks in a row of marathoning. Hope I'm ready by then.
