Yesterday I came down with a recurrance of a tummy bug I had a couple of weeks ago which was no big deal as I had Monday off as a leave day anyway and had scheduled it as a total rest day.
This morning I got up ok with the alarm which I took as a good sign, I didn't feel great (but who does at 5.30am?), got dressed and headed out the door. I was determined to do 12k which would give me over 300k for the month, something I've wanted to do since I recommenced running.
Alas it was not meant to be, the first k which is gentle uphill felt very ordinary but then the second k felt much worse and it's downhill! I just couldn't get out of 2nd gear and when I started to get the first twinges of pain in my stomach I decided it just wasn't worth pushing - I've got bigger fish to fry than clocking up 300k, so turned tail and headed at a shuffle back home and back to bed.
I'm still pretty happy with my monthly total though as my previous highest was in Feb '05 of 234k. Good thing I had this week slated as an easier week, it's not so hard to bear being crook.

Sounds like a good move. Strange for a tummy bug to hang around for two weeks. Well done on the mileage.
Wow - what a month of running 2P! Nice job!
I'm glad that you turned around when your stomach started bothering you again. Smart move. I hope you are feeling better soon.
Nice monthly total, especially considering you had to recover from the big one at Gosford.
But hey, there's still another 9 hours left in the month ... 10 if you lived in the Sunshine State :-)
running and a tummy bug... not a good mix!!! Goo don you for going back to bed!
shame about the 300 mate. Something else to aim for in Feb or post-6FT perhaps?
actually if you really wanted to, I'd let you include your 44km riding total to make up the 300...
293 is not a badly monthly total at all....well done. And it just boggles the mind when I think of how you ran almost a third of those consecutively in one run!!!!
Awesome!
Bad luck about the 300 but there's still 4 hrs to go. Should we wait for an updated post.
Good self control not to go for 300, you must have been crook.
Hope you kill the bug off quick.
It doesn't feel very good when you don't finish what you planned, but the reality is that your efforts and distance in january has been great.
The thruth is that you never know what can happen even the last day of the month.
What Tesso said is so funny!!!
Ok, Here in America the day is starting and I am going for my last run of the month, just NOW!!!
Get well soon.
It's still a big month and I'm sure you'll crack the 300 very soon. Hope the bug leaves town without trace asap!
I'm just catching up on blogs now. So sorry to hear that you've been unwell. I'm sure you'll be back to 100% very soon :-)
And I have absolutely no doubt that you'll crack 300 very soon
:-)
