Training Log

Mountain bike at shelby farms on tour de wolf trail.  Very muddy and lots of water on the trail from the melting snow.  Kind of challenging.   Need to do more of these this week to find out if I want to do the Wolfman Duathlon at the end of march.

Germantown half marathon is this coming Sunday.  I am not that thrilled with the prospect since I have not been doing any "long" runs, just 7 miles 6 days a week, some days 8 miles.  We'll see how this goes. My last half marathon was St. Jude in the beginning of December which was my 2nd best half marathon time.  I'll just get out there and do my best at Germantown.

7 miles, 6 pm, 60 degrees.  First 4 miles with Carbon, then 3 on my own. 

6 pm, Warmed up on the mountain bike around the neighborhood and 2 parks for about 6 miles first, then 7 miles - 4 on my own and 3 fast miles with Carbon

got very sick in the middle of the night last night - coughing, fever, congestion.  I never stay home from work but did today.  Slept all day,  which I also never do.  Doctor's appointment tomorrow morning.

Went to work for a short time before going to doctor's appointment.  He gave me antibiotics and decongestants and told me to go home and rest, which I did. Feeling pretty wiped out.

Still not feeling well.  This is a pretty nasty bug.  Even with the antibiotics and decongestants, I'm still feeling wiped out and kind of spacey from the sinus congestion. Came home early to get some rest after several people at work saying how I still look pretty sick.

Still pretty wiped out.  Took a nap after lunch.  Picked up my race packet but not sure if I'll be able to run the half tomorrow.  Will see how I feel tomorrow at 6 a.m.
