Week 17: Days 113-117

Day 113: Happy 4th of July!!!!! There is no better way to start the 4th by running the Peachtree Road Race. 60,000 runners gather in Atlanta to run a 10k. It is such a fun event and every year I say I wanna run it for fun and really enjoy it but then when it comes time to run I just start running and don't stop. =) We had an amazing group of people get together after the race as well for breakfast and then Jordan and I just enjoyed the day together. Since it was the 4th of July I opted not to swim and enjoy the day. Starting tomorrow it will be time to focus on the upcoming race on Sunday though.

Day 114: Today I was suppose to ride on the Comet for speed work, but with all the rain we got that night I knew it would be trashed so I enjoyed a little more sleep and had every intention to get on the trainer instead. After a trip to Poduim Multi Sports to have some things looked at, getting on the trainer never happened. Sometime work just gets in the way of training. If I just had time to get everything done, train and work it would be so much better. As soon as you get off your time crunched schedule a little, it seems that you can't just fit it all in. Sticking with the planned out timed schedule is key.

Day 115: Today was not a good training day in Cartersville, which makes me mad. I love training up there and when I have an off day it just bums me out. Today I started not feeling well which is never good especially since I have a race this weekend,which I think is part of the reason the training today wasn't very good. The only good thing is that I got to relax a little long and enjoy the food this time with everyone. After getting home and still not feeling well work was not a good idea so I stayed home and relaxed in bed all day hopoing to feel better tomorrow so I can run.

Day 116: Today I was still not feeling well and I just wanted to leave work early to go home and just be in bed. I stuck it out, but I canned the running for today. I am more worried about feeling better for this weekend then getting a training run in. The days are ticking away fast and this is not a good time to not be feeling well. Since tomorrow is a double shift for me at work I know I won't getting anything done tomorrow so looks like no more training before the race this weekend.

Day 117: Today is my double shift day for work so it is sleepy time and no training. I did get everything ready to go though for the trip to Chattanooga for my race on Sunday. I am really exciting, because my parents will be there cheering me on.
