when sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions. Well, that's perhaps going a bit far, but this really wasn't a good week for me. Just as my foot started healing up nicely enough for me to walk around without looking like I was going about on tenterhooks, I got hit with some kind of viciously unpleasant stomach bug. Well, there went that week...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday: 40 minutes on the stationary bike... not so interesting
Tuesday: 20 minutes on the bike, then 2 x 10 minutes, then 2 x 5 minutes, each time with progressively more resistance. Kind of the stationary bike equivalent of the Tuesday from two weeks ago.
Wednesday: Hmmm....does lying on the coach half-sleeping, half-watching movies all day count as exercise?
Thursday: How about if you're half-watching a DVD of TV episodes?
On Friday, the coach said to rest. As if I was going to do anything but.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortunately, I'm starting to feel better now, and rounding that corner always lifts the spirits, doesn't it? But, otherwise, this was not a week to remember, and not one with anything in it worth reporting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday: Started to feel better, but decided that my body had more or less no nutrients in it, so one more day of rest.
Sunday: 14 miles -- as in, a half-marathon plus a little bonus added on top! Objectively, probably not the wisest decision to run so far today, but I was excited to get back on track with the training plan. And anyway, right now I feel much more tired than I normally might, but otherwise I think I got away pretty much unscathed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current estimate of my odds of completing a marathon on May 1st: Umm... how about 75%?
