I have slept for nearly two days straight. Yup. Bilbo
Baggins and his post Lonely Mountain adventure stop with Gandalf in Rivendell
have nothing on me! Minus the battle of five armies and the gold treasure of
course. But I do have my own personal Elrond taking care of me…Hubby!
Not sure what sort of bug I picked up but it has hit me like
a ton of bricks. I went for a walk on Tuesday and by 1pm I was ready to hit the
sack. I managed to stay awake long enough to greet the boys at the bus stop,
give them a snack, breeze through homework and then crawl into bed. I was able
to get up to feed them dinner, bathe them and tuck them in. I then crawled into
bed and haven’t gotten out until this afternoon. Thankfully, hubby came home
early Tuesday evening and had yesterday off so I could sleep this fever off and
not worry about the boys. Hubby made me soup, brought me a smoothie in bed and
took care of my needs. That’s saying a lot since he is not a natural caregiver!
Today I am starting to feel almost human. I am hoping
another good nights’ sleep will kick this bug to the curb and I will be able to
rest up this weekend. I need to make up my missed 13 miles from today. In my
feverish state yesterday I actually considered running 13 today. I then
realized that would probably put me in the hospital with pneumonia and ruin my
goal for the race. A little sleep wouldn’t hurt me and I know that I couldn’t
walk five miles today so running 13 is out of the question.
I’m hoping to kill these 13 miles on Monday. I am actually
going to add the .1 to see how my time is. I’m dreaming of a huge PR this year
and trying to not get my hopes up too much for Monday. Only time and rest will
tell.
It looks like the sun is out today and I’m sure that it’s a
great day for running…if you’re healthy!
Happy running y’all!!
