After a great slow and steady run on Saturday, as planned, I went away to Greenport for the weekend and got sick. I'm not sure if it was getting caught in the rain or the freezing hotel room, with the air conditioner controlled by my brother. Either way, I've been down and out for three full days.
With four months to go, I'm getting nervous. I really need to get back on track. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

Rehab...Already
OK. So my little injury took me down for a few days--literally. Walking was tough and the fact that my new job requires me to dress like a grownup didn't help. (Wearing shoes that are usually referred to as pumps is not easy when your entire left legs hurts. Good news is I used this as an excuse to buy new shoes!)
So it was time to rehab. I used the bike trainer in our basement to help build up my muscles yesterday evening, some icy hot before bed (ah the smell of old people!) and hopped on the bike again this morning. So while I didn't run after Tuesday's injury, I should be able to get back on track tomorrow. That would make three days of running--which is not too bad.
Next week: No excuses. Time to get up to five days of running with yoga in between.
