ugh, the universe doesn't want me to do this half!

this is the only place i can vent about this without fear of being ridiculed...maybe.

first, i'm hit last week with my first battle with pink eye (ewww).  then, i get sick with a terrible cold.  i didn't get to run for a week and a half.  finally sucked it up and ran 3 miles yesterday, and this morning i'm so freaking tired.  from THREE miles.

and now, my period decides to make an appearance.  

the half is on saturday.

why, mother nature, why do you hate me??

Re: ugh, the universe doesn't want me to do this half!

  • I hate pink eye.  Haaaate it.

    When was your lost long run and how far did you go?

  • No flames or ridicule from me....I told my DH one of two things are going to happen Saturday, I finally bet my PR or I fall flat on my @ss and have a horrible time, because I keep hearing about that hill and well...I have not trained enough for it Embarrassed

    Oh! and the fact that I maybe driving down by myself (my cousin is running but were not super close or anything...) also makes me blah. Oh well.

    It may suck going up that hill but remember what goes up must come down and that part feels soo good! To me the coming down part is so much fun!

  • Ugh, I'm sorry!

    If it makes you feel any better, the hubs and I are going away for a nice little romantice getaway this weekend, and he was just diagnosed with pinkeye this morning, and aunt flo decided to visit me as well.  Perfect timing.  Sigh.
