So I sat down towards the end of last year and figured out a training plan that would get me to the Flying Pig Half Marathon and get me through it with a decent time without killing myself.
It’s January 18th.
Have I run yet in 2012? Nope.
So what have I do? Been sick. Dealt with sick kids. Been sick again. Dealt with sick husband. Been sick again. Went swimming with my girls at the Y.
So I’m only about 3 weeks behind where I wanted to be… in the grand scheme of things it’s not horrible.
I’m sitting here in my running clothes waiting on my husband to get home so I can get out and run… if he doesn’t get home in the next hour or so today will be a waste. Again.
But I’m not going to stress out about it… tomorrow is a new day. I can make up 3 weeks in no time… I’ll just do 5 runs a week instead of 4 for a while. No biggie.
So how do you get back in the habit when you get knocked out by sickness or life in general?
Life and sickness has knocked me for a loop this week as well, between the husband working later than usual and all of us being sick…I can’t count any exercise this week. Ugh.
I’m so sorry you’ve been sick. I was sick the first part of this month too. The best advice I can give you is just get back out there even if it’s only one mile.
