Last few weeks of nothing good.

Well it seems like I have been just having a terrible time training lately. I did a few races over March that were sub-par efforts compared to what I am used to doing. I also thought that I could just run like normal and race like normal while being pretty sick for most of the month. I few days before spring break from CSU-Pueblo, I had been running ok, and started to feel bad again on that Wednesday. Thursday was spent taking care of my son who had his ear drum burst in addition to some other issues in his chest. Top that off with me getting even sicker, and something had to give. I spent the next five days doing no running at all which was strange for me. I did go down to New Mexico for a few days which was great. I will tell you that five days off is strange in itself, but its the first few days back running that are scary! I thought I had not run in years!!! The pain in my legs and knees was something that I only felt back in 2002 when I started this running journey again. I seem to be getting back together now though even though I still can't get rid of this stuff, whatever it is.
Last week:
Sunday nothing
Monday nothing
Tuesday 8 miles in MVP. Horrible run!!
Wednesday 11 miles in Palmer Park
Thursday nothing. The snow was blasting everything down here
Friday 13 miles in MVP
Saturday 13 miles in MVP
This week:
Sunday 16 miles in MVP.
Monday 10 Miles at the Garden
Tuesday 10 miles at Woodman to Air Force Academy and back.
Wednesday Nothing. Too much going on.
Thursday 13 miles in MVP. 1'13"10. This is a typical run I do when I feel like normal.
Tomorrow: hopefully 10 or so miles in Palmer Park
I guess the timing was good to get sick and have some down time because it seems that the racing around here has been very limited. I was sad to see that the Pueblo Cinco De Mayo run dropped the prize money. Oh well.
