Bring on the challenge!

Did my sprint workout on the treadmill this morning.  I'm back to the regular workout I was doing a couple of months ago - YEAH!!  Glad I don't feel like such a woos anymore ;)  

Did 3 miles at a 6.0 on the treadmill this morning.  Finished it up with Jillian's 30 Day Shred.  Going to the doctor later to see if I have a sinus infection.  Seriously - these colds are getting ridiculous!!  4 since Thanksgiving!  And, my sinuses are killing me (especially jumping around or putting our head down while exercising) so I'm giving in and going to see Tom.  Hopefully, he can fix me up good :)

Did my tempo workout on the treadmill this morning.  Same as last week.  Found out yesterday I do have a sinus infection.  Got me some drugs and hopefully it will kick this stuff out for good.  So tired of being constantly sick and drained lately.  Not something I am used to.  Talked to Dr. Tom about the Salt Lake marathon.  He will be running it, too.  Although I have a goal for this year and it would be nice if I could reach it in April, I haven't been thinking it was going to happen.  He even told me it may be difficult for this race.  He says it is one of his least favorites.  So, now I'm wondering what kind of a time I actually can achieve on this race?  Especially as training for it during the winter months is not the easiest.  I would hope I could get somewhat close to my last time, but we'll see.

Took the morning off.  Not part of the original plan for the week, but too much going on today.  Had to get ready this morning to go help at the school and didn't get to bed as early as I'd hoped, so didn't want to get up any earlier.  May or may not run tomorrow.   We'll see.  Long run on Saturday.

Well, so much for a long run this weekend.  Friday night my husband informed me that the air quality was RED outside, so I opted to sleep in a bit and do the treadmill.  I know, I ran in that crap in December, but I don't think it was a great idea.  Especially now, I'm trying to get over a sinus infection and didn't think that was conducive to doing so.  So, of course, I got all excited about sleeping in, but there is also a downside to that.  When you sleep in, you run later in the morning, and your body is hungry.  No, I don't like to eat before I run.  It was only 8-ish when I did get on the treadmill, but I was already feeling the effects of hunger.  So, this made me more tired than if I had opted to get up early and run.  It's a double-edged sword.  Also, by running later, I feel like I lose so many hours in my day to get things done.  So, I opted for a shorter run, too.  What a woos I'm turning into.  I've really got to get my head back on and get training better.
