One Step Forward Two Steps Back

Today Total: 3k
Week Total: 18k
Month Total: 34k
Year Total: 626k

After feeling pretty chirpy on Thursday night I woke up Friday morning feeling all chesty and yuck again - bugger! Worked Friday then rested up all day Saturday - which meant I missed the CR5k Challenge that I had been looking forward to - double bugger!!

Headed out mid-morning today for a trot and I even wore my CR cap for extra motivation - I mean you have to put in a good effort when you are wearing colours don't you? When I hit 2.5k my legs felt like they were about to fall off and my breathing and heartrate were all out of shape - triple bugger!!! At 3k I quit, slipped my CR cap in my pocket, tucked my tail between my legs and walked the shortcut route back home through Massey Park Golf Course.

It's a bit frustrating but it can't last forever.

If frustration were an enjoyable emotion, injured/sick runners would be such happy buggers you'd pick them a mile off!!!

But when a good run kicks in, it makes it all worthwhile. Right?

SNAP! I missed my clubs 5km handicap challenge yesterday (Saturday) due to cold/flu come stomach cramps. Quaddruple bugger.

Bugger indeed! Healing thoughts heading your way :)

I think you've caught something off CJ. There are plenty of 5ks.

Had a laugh at the CR cap thing - isn't that the first thing runners do if they bail out of an Olympic marathon (take off their singlet).

Its almost more annoying than being injured when a non running thing stops you from running.

Take it easy and get well soon. Only seven weeks to go.
