It's been a while since my last post. Since my last post I have completed another 20 mile training run, got a cold that won't quit, watched a close friend/ running partner/ inspiration qualify for Boston and fell off the training wagon. So I've been busy, you see.

The cold lingered and is still lingering going on 3 weeks. Di convinced me that running the 2nd 20 miler would help to feel better and it did for a day or two and then the cold was back but meaner and greener than before. Really put a damper on the speed workout for that week. Then I was supposed to do 15 miles this week which was I was going to cut back to 13.1 and run the Hartford Half. I blew that off because I was still not feeling "right" and didn't want to end up in the hospital with pneumonia or worse and I couldn't run it slow because then I wouldn't have been able to see the ever speedy Running Chick pass mile 20. So I decided to go and be a spectator/race crew/ friend instead and cheer on the Running Chick to her kick ass destruction of the Hartford Marathon and her PR!!!!

So here I sit two weeks out from my own marathon. I feel very confident in my training. I am not too concerned about the last week in training. I will jump back onto the wagon this week and follow it through to the end. I just hope I can keep up with David!
