Halp...

It's been 5+ years since the last time I remember getting a cold that has prevented me from running or doing any other physical activity. I'm trying not to let it get to me but it's hard as I am now week 13 on my training schedule (the peak of my training) and I haven't done a long run since the 19 mile a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure this is really a physical test for me as much as it is a mental test. I'm trying to find other activities that is not as intense (ie walking, swimming, cycling). I need some words of encouragement/inspiration, team! Send me your love. <3

"This too shall pass..." 19 mi run Week 10

With all the string of bad luck that I have been experiencing, I am EXTREMELY grateful that I can still run the distance that I do. It definitely keeps me focus and makes me realize that "this too shall pass." The route was a tad hillier than I would have mapped out for a long run, but it's good training for my legs. ;)

Thanks to Joe Perez for being support crew and Gody Khambatta for lending Joe his bike so he can keep me company.
