Really bummed about my 10k this weekend....

I am running my first 10k this weekend (yay!) I am bummed because I need to take my expectations for my goals down a notch.  Not the end of the world, but still.  I haven't run (or worked out for that matter) since Sunday.  We were up in the mountains and everyone in my family has slowly come down with a variety of illness (mostly a stomach virus-ugh) this week, so I haven't had a full nights sleep since last Thursday.  Combined with finals this week, and my bodies freaky "stress/sleep deprived induced tonsillitis" I am a hotmess.  I don't know why but my body gets tonsillitis a few times a year when I am super run down and stressed (last time was after one of my twins had an emergency appendectomy in December.)  My plan for the next three days is just rest/study/try to not puke, and then just go and have fun at my 10k Sunday.  There will be other's to make my goal time, right?!
