I have been sick for almost a week now it seems. I have a tooth ache that has morphed into entire life ache. I feel like there is a power ranger in my head doing spin kicks to my brain. It hurts to try and focus, but the worst part is I have a hard time talking. That is true punishment for me, because all the crazy things I think about are just stuck in my head. Training is harder than normal due to the zapping of my energy from constant pain. Feeling good is not an option but neither is taking a few days off so I look for little enjoyments to get me trough this pain and aggravation.
Yesterday my sister and I went on a trail hike with our boys for an hour. It was amazing to say the lest. Then my amazing wife surprised me with a trip to a running store to pick up my race day shirts and car decals for my 5k in 26 days. I refuse to let being sick rob me of my joy of training. I keep reminding myself that the goal is larger than the obstacles to keep myself motivated to keep going. Stay focused on long term to get through the short term distractions........
