Back at It!

I can't believe that it has been almost an entire month since I blogged last. Granted, February is a short month, but still!

Where have I been and what have I been up to? Well, for most of the month I was here:

The Den of Sick

Yes, this is the "Den of Sick". Notice the extra box of tissues on the floor, and the one on the nightstand. There's also a juice box and a cup of tea ... and the quintessential trash basket full of germs... oh, and just for EB, the Snuggie - folded up on the lower shelf ready for action should I take leave of the bed for the couch.

I was sick. Almost on my death bed sick. Well, not really, but it sure felt that way. And it SUCKED! Mostly because I could not sleep because I could not breathe!! And then I couldn't sleep because of all of the drama in my life - which then made me more sick due to all the stress. Bitches.

BUT... I am better now and back at it this week - back at work, back at training and ready to face the challenges ahead. This week's training schedule was easy and light but I still turned to sucking on the inhaler in order to get through that easy 45 min. treadmill run, and hacked up a giant loogy in the pool on Wednesday, and could not, for the now-healthy-life-of-me, hit the high cadence rpms during yesterdays spin. Thank God I did not have watts to hit - I would have been a goner. All part of coming back from an illness and SEVEN WHOLE DAYS OFF FROM TRAINING, I guess.

Next week looks good. As in painful. I'm so ready to tackle it. Sunday is 25 min. run in Zone 3 with 1:45 on the TRAINER with some high watts that say "JUST TRY" after it!!! Thank goodness I just placed that order for more CarboPro with TriSports.com today. I am so going to need it on Sunday.
