Wednesday 4 with running club on Aero :)
Thursday 4 switched to Friday
Friday (off)

That's a lot of 4's!

Happy Chinese New Year :)

Starting Week 5

It's an awful feeling to want to exercise and the inability to do so. It took me back to last Spring when I had my weird knee injury just after starting to learn to love to run. I tried to work out with Jillian Michaels' DVD on Saturday and well - it was unpleasant to say the least. The pain in the ear drums was unreal - I really feel for those who have constant sinus issues :(

So my balance is back and my head is less cloudy so we enter week 5 (after having a somewhat repeated week 4).
 The plan is: (what really happened in blue)

 Monday 4 miles no
Tuesday 5 miles no
Wednesday (running club) 4 miles yes
Thursday 3 miles yes
Friday (off - teach Bootcamp)
Saturday (running club) 7 miles.run 3.5
Sunday  4.5 run 5.8


What a week to come back to - good thing is I will have my awesome Amber with me.... nothing worse than running without her !!!

Bad bloggers

Yes, it has been a while - sorry folks.

We ran our 6 miles last Saturday - having to be a bit inventive with the route and icy sidewalks. It turned out well to switch Sat and Sun long runs as I never got to run Sunday and neither did Amber.

Monday was a rest day
Tuesday was 3 miles in Hebron - pretty warm day which was a body shock. I'm so used to dressing for the cold.
Wednesday - spoke too soon - it was very cold and I did 4 miles with the RC (Amber had a sick one at home). I wasn't feeling too great, in fact I could feel the sinus infection and my ears had been aching for days.
Thursday I called off the run - and work and headed to the doctor first thing. Double ear infection and sinus  :(
Friday - snow day from school and I have spent most of the day in bed.

I'm not fearful of losing my runners legs :) not like before - plus we were doubling week 4 in numbers so hopefully back into the swing of things Saturday morning and heading for week 5!
