Monday, 10th:<\/strong><\/p>\n I did nothing.\u00a0 I literally slept all day long which is something I never do!\u00a0 Sunday evening I started feeling like blah so I knew I was going to sleep-in on Monday and take a rest day.\u00a0 I slept in then went back to bed and slept until close to dinner time.\u00a0 Then I was back in bed after dinner for the rest of the night.<\/p>\n Tuesday, 11th:<\/strong><\/p>\n Another rest day.\u00a0 I was sure if I would be hitting Muay Thai class up later in the evening so I decided that since I was so wrecked on Monday to just take it easy on Tuesday.\u00a0 Turns out I did not go to class because by the end of the day I was wiped out.\u00a0 Meh.\u00a0 I think I was in bed by 8pm!<\/p>\n Wednesday, 12th:<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay if I didn’t run I was going to lose my mind.\u00a0 True statement.\u00a0 So I busted out six miles and I was really happy with that run!\u00a0 I felt good and the run felt good so I thought that maybe I was on the mend.<\/p>\n Wrong!\u00a0 I crashed out later that day.<\/p>\n It was at this point I was starting to get agitated.\u00a0 Holy cow I don’t get sick so the fact I was sick AND it was preventing me from working out and sleeping well was starting to get to me.\u00a0 Cue Cranky Andrea.<\/p>\n Thursday, 13th:<\/strong><\/p>\n I ran 3 miles because I would be damned if I would let this cold get me down.\u00a0 So a shortie run “naked”. Friday, 14th:<\/strong><\/p>\n Normally a rest day but heck I’ve been resting all week!\u00a0 I did another short 3 mile run and whooo that was tough!\u00a0 It was windy and I was just tired and worn out.\u00a0 Fridays are always hard runs for me because eating pizza and having wine the night before just weight me down.\u00a0 Oy!\u00a0 Now you know why Friday is my rest day! :p<\/p>\n Saturday, 15th:<\/strong><\/p>\n A rest day by accident! I thought we were going to be spending the day doing yard work so I was going to consider that as my workout.\u00a0 However instead the day was spent running around and doing chores.\u00a0 Oh well, stuff had to get done so I’m not going to stress about it.<\/p>\n Sunday, 16h:<\/strong><\/p>\n Long run, hooray!\u00a0 Eleven miles in the bag baby, yeah!\u00a0 My longest run since the half and it felt amazing.\u00a0 I was a little nervous at first because I didn’t eat enough yesterday, my stomach was growling while I slept.\u00a0 Whooops!\u00a0 I had a bit of extra food this morning before my run, wished for the best, and headed out for the run.<\/p>\n It was overcast today and gloomy so I was hoping I didn’t get rained on.\u00a0 The weather was warm but with a cool breeze, it was totally perfect for a long run.\u00a0 I didn’t get hungry during the run and I had plenty of energy.\u00a0 I got to see some baby geese this morning which is the best part of my Sunday runs.\u00a0 All the spring babies! Total miles for the week: 23<\/strong><\/p>\n I’ve completed the 50 miles for May challenge! Whooo!\u00a0 I’m currently at 61 miles for the month of May.\u00a0 I wonder if I can bust a hundred in a month?\u00a0 Last month (April) I ran 89 miles.
