sick week :(

the greenway in february!

monday - 5 miles full of fartleks. i was really dragging to get out the door. feeling so so tired. and sometimes the hardest thing is just getting out the door! so i just kept telling myself i'd feel so much better once i got this run done. and i do. and i saw the most beautiful hawk ever on my run. so so worth it! 






wednesday - i've been so tired the past few days and can feel a cold coming on so i rested yesterday. didn't feel so bad today so i gave the kids a day of from school and took them to the greenway and ran 10 miles as they biked. it was a breezy yet nice sunny day! i could tell my body was getting tired towards the end so i'm going to rest a day or two before doing the 20 miler on the schedule.

these kept falling off the trees & hitting me on the trail!

saturday - rested the past two days from running. thursday i just felt yucky. friday a little better but i'm battling the yearly cold and hope this one won't be as bad as the virus i got last february. that's the last time i got a full on cold/cough/aches... you catch the drift! i ran 5 miles today which felt hard. it literally went from 60 earlier this week to the coldest it's been since early jan. we've been spoiled here with a mild warm winter thus far! today's run was cold, windy and *sprinkled with flurries* i wore my balaclava for the first time and got pelted by these little prickly things (the name for them has escaped my brain!). still felt a little eh so i'll keep planning to hold off the 20 mile run until monday or tuesday.
