With the rush of the holidays, a cold that refuses to go away, unfriendly weather, and inflamed tendons and IT bands, training has been difficult for me the past two weeks. I have managed to get in most of my miles, but I have had to walk a lot more than I would have liked due to being sick as well as dealing with knee pain. There is nothing wrong with walking, except for that it takes a lot longer and I just really have my heart set on running the whole 26.2.
On the bright side, I am happy to report that I am only a few dollars away from my fundraising goal of $2,400. I have baked cookies, appealed to friends, family and businesses, sold hot chocolate, sold raffle tickets, and wrapped a TON of Christmas Presents (THANK YOU BARNES & NOBLE!) in order to meet this goal. I am so excited about achieving this, especially with the knowledge that this money will be used to heal people.
I am going to get better about icing and heating my knee, and will be more fastidous about stretching well before I head out for a run. I think I'm about over this miserable cold, so hopefully I'll be able to get in some good runs this week.
