Near Death Experience

Well, I reached my first real bump in my marathon training when I got sick this last week. Unfortunately, I also suffer from illness-induced asthma which meant that I pretty much stayed off my feet this last week (with the exception of some cross training), including missing my long run last Saturday. Today was my first real day out since my lungs were on the fritz and I attempted a 19 mile run (including the Strider's Half). As Rob and Christie can attest, it was windy and cold out. Was it just me, guys, or was it just, plain horrible out there? I was really struggling. I ended up walking the last mile. But I didn't throw up, which I think is a milestone in itself. I'll be back on track for next week, though, with a 9 miler planned for Monday morning.

That's all for now.
