A rough start for a strong finish!

41 days until race day :)

This weekend was rough. Although the weather was PERFECT for running. I picked up a bug and it hit me on Saturday. I have had some sort of stomach virus all weekend. I did manage to bowl yesterday and I even bowled my average! I tried not letting the bug get me down so I continued on my weekend tasks by still going to disney and souplantation! I repotted a plant and potted a new plant for my balcony. Now I have 4 Plumeria Trees and 2 Palm Trees and 1 Christmas Cactus! It is so beautiful and I love to admire them in my spare time!

Saturday was 14 miles and I am still sore, LOL! This Saturday I will be breaking another record! I have NEVER ran 18 miles in one day... so let's start now! I will be doing 18 on Saturday :) Wish me luck! I have ice packs prepared for this week, lOL! I am hoping for a strong 18-miler... but I like to be prepared for my knees sake!

On Saturday I felt some pain in my right knee while running and then on Sunday they both ached a little! Not to worry, ice ALWAYS helps!

Some exciting news for this week is that Jeremy is off from FEDEX this whole week! So I get to see my hubby a little more than normal :) Also I talked him into a 6 mile run tomorrow with TNT people so if Gwynne is reading this... you will see him with us! Let's cheer him on, this will be his first 6-miler! Way to go hunny.... I am so proud of him for doing this with me!

So besides tomorrow's run, he is going to go to ROCK HARBOR church and swing dance... we will see if he will feel like doing it after running, LOL! He does and my tummy feels better than I may go with him! ANOTHER we will see!

Wednesday is 7 miles with Coach Paul at the Back Bay of Newport and then I am taking Thursday and Friday off so my knees can recoup for 18 miles on Saturday! I keep saying it because I can't believe that I am going to run that much so SOON! LOL!!!!

Today is Monday... so HAPPY MONDAY! Jeremy and I have laundry and grocery shopping on the menu for today! It is nice that he will be here to help as my stomach is not 100% yet!

Exercise Summary:
I will be doing 31 miles out of 39 this week! In addition to those miles, I am taking tap class for 1hr on Monday and Thursday, doing some swing dancing on Saturday at Disney, and bowling in my league on Sunday!
