So Unlike Me (and a giveaway winner)

I haven't run a single mile for about a week and two days.  This is so weird for me.  I forced myself to take a week off after the half-after-the-failed-STL-full.  But the week before the half, I only ran one four-miler.  When you add up those miles, plus the infamous marathon and the taper miles preceding, I have only run 36 miles in the past three weeks.  Pretty low for me.

I planned to get out there this week, but was hit with a whammy of a spring-cold.  Once again, working out has been put on hold.  Tomorrow, I think I will head out to Fusion Fitness for a change of pace before I jump into my next round of marathon training.  We will see how I feel.  Right now, I just feel like I am getting flabby...

In other news--"K" won the Build-A-Sign giveaway!  Her mom is her biggest supporter--Congrats, K!

  1. Well I hope the time off is helping, even if it makes you feel like you're getting flabby! :)

  3. It can be hard cutting mileage way back, but sometimes it's the best thing you can do for your body. Enjoy the rest month! ;)

  4. Oh, yay!! This is too exciting to have finally won something! I'd call my mom right now and tell her she's going to have a cool sign to hold up at my next race if i didn't think it was already past her bedtime! Thank you!
    From ~K~ who has a middle name Marie too! ;-)

  5. I hate that feeling! It always seems like if I skip running for a few days, I lose momentum! And I make up the extra time by eating...this week it was peeps!

  7. A break is always good, if it makes you want to get out there again!

  8. I'm sure you are not flabby but I know the feeling! Too much time away from exercise will do that to a person! I hope you are feeling better soon!!!

  9. Sometimes a break is the best way to recharge. Don't feel bad- unless it continues for weeks on end! Catch up on the things you don't have time for when you are running.

  13. sometimes you just need that break and it allows you to come back to running with a fresh attitude because suddenly you miss it
