A Gift from Corey

Sounds sweet doesn't it??? Well, this amazing gift my husband could have kept! He was a dear and shared with me his cold. Right now is NOT the time for me to get sick; but from what I hear, I am right on schedule!

Had a 60-80 minute run scheduled for today. (I am already stressing about the Marathon portion of the event...so missing this run is not ok!) I know what had to be done, and what advise I would give others if they were in my position, but I had to hear it. SO, I placed a call into the world's best Coach, Huddle. And, he said exactly what I thought he would "Don't run". He told me to stay home, drink and rest. I was already at the Trail Head waiting for Kim, so that was out of the question.

Since I was already out there, his instructions were to not allow my HR to get above 110 bpm. Then he proceeded in the pep talk that I am ready and that this is not a huge issue...but if I don't rest now and I push it, it will become a big issue.

My main thought is that I am suppose to send my bike away on Sunday. I have to get in a long ride tomorrow. It will be my last on my bike before Florida. SO, the goal today is to rest, drink and get myself better. I will not be sick!!! I can't be sick.
