First month of training done!
At the beginning of January I wasn’t sure I would be able to meet my running
goal for the month. The New Year found me traveling to Florida with my husband
and mother-in-law fighting a head cold and over all fatigue. A couple of days
of resting in the car, they did all the driving, and a couple of days soaking
in the greenery and the ocean air restored me to the point where I was ready to
come back to the frozen northland of home and kick it on the treadmill.
I returned to a household of
sick grandchildren and within a day all the rest from my trip had vanished and
I was headed down that slippery path of illness once again. The disruption to
my running schedule left me wondering if I would be able to train enough to be
ready for the 10k I had registered for in March. But with a lot of lounging
around and avoiding everyone I thought may be harboring any kind of cold or
illness and dosing myself with vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc supplements and
herbal tea I preserved in regaining my health enough to get back on the
treadmill and run.
A little extra effort and I
finished the month meeting my running distance goal, which got me back on track
with my training schedule.
Let’s see what challenges February
throws at me. I am confident I will conquer them.
