Trying to Get Back on Track

The NY Marathon was Sunday, the 2nd. We stayed in NY until Wednesday. We walked around Manhattan all day Monday, logging about 6 miles. That was probably a little too much, especially since it was the beginning of Zero Week, but I felt fine. A bug that was sweeping NYC found Stan and decided to strike in the middle of the night Wednesday. He was sick for several days. I have luckily avoid it. Between prior commitments and a sick husband, my training got pushed to the back burner. I finally got out for a short 10 minute swim this morning at the Aquatic Center. It's amazing how much of an impact a week's break can have. I was winded and ready for a nap.

My plan is to get back on the full marathon training schedule, complete the 30K on December 16th and run the Houston full marathon.
