SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE...

Fourth Monday of the week.

Well, I was definitely sick, indeed. I figure I'm about 80% better today and will be well enough to run this weekend. This weekend is a local race, The Five Points of Life Half and Full Marathon.

I wasn't going to run it this year. But then I changed my mind thus cementing the feeling that I'm hexed! Why? Well, every time I have run a local race I get sick, or to a lesser extent, injured. The years I decided not to run a local race I was just fine. So, I was fine till I decided to run this half! Well, this time, at least, the cold came a week early. I think I'll be good to run by Sunday. This run is a great cause so I'm glad I can have fun while supporting it.

Great Medal This Year!

Not sure how I'll do as I have run only once since the New Orleans Rock & Roll Marathon 3 weeks ago...yikes! That's a recipe for lead balloon legs even if you're not sick! I am hoping to do a mile or so today and maybe an easy 2 or 3 tomorrow just to loosen myself up. But I don't want to push it and maybe cause a relapse.

This is a little bit of a challenging course as part of it runs along a street we locals call "The Bacon Strip". It is up and down hilly. But the second half is fairly flat, thankfully. I really wanted to try and do well with this one but as a recovering, hexed person I will just go with the flow and have a good time.

Ok...sigh...I am going to break down and join Weight Watchers next week. It's not that I don't know what I need to do to lose weight it's that I need accountability. I am still 179.2! I can't believe it's the end of February and I have gotten nowhere with the weight loss. Just, damn!

Something's gotta give!
