Had to work on Sunday, getting ready for the "go live" we've been working toward over the last 6 months. Then decided to have some co-workers over for dinner - instead of running the 14 miles I was suppose to. I justified it because my left calf had been hurting like crazy, and we had a going away celebration for our recovery project manager on Wednesday, so I planned to do 14 miles on Monday, 7 on Tuesday, and 7 on Thursday. That would get me back on schedule.
Well, Monday went well, and I got in 13.25 miles. I really thought I would wimp out after just 5 or so, so was really happy when the miles kept racking up. I even could have turned around at mile 11, but I didn't. I fueled up pretty well during the day, and I had some Blue Powerade before, and brought it along wih me in my water belt. That extra rest day helped.
Only problem was I found out that my dad has had some numbness in his face, and couldn't bink his right eye.
Tuesday, I ended up having some co-workers over again, and only got 1 mile in, right before my training session. I didn't eat very well, and I felt it. I also felt my calf. I think I pulled something, and doing calf raises didn't help.
We found out my dad's issues were not a stroke or a tumor, so that is good.
We had our celebration at Fleming's Steakhouse on Wednesday; fun times for all. No running, though. And poor sleep, ony about 4 hours.
Last night, I pondered, but came up with another excuse. Had to get up early and get on a plane to ATL. And was tired. And whatever else.
So I am trying to get back in the swing. Only one week until my weigh in with Jill, after 5 weeks of training with her.
