    GAH! I have got to step it up. These past few weeks have been awful. First with the allergic reaction, and now this week one of my 4 legged babies has been horribly sick. We have no clue what’s wrong with him; he’s been to the vet twice. Won’t eat, drink, just sleeps and can hardly get up. My hubby is home with him during the day while I work, and then I stay up with him at night. He’s been on 2 Rx since Monday and finally this morning he actually ate some ground turkey and rice. My 17k is next Saturday and I’ve hardly run for 3 weeks. I'm just grateful that I’ve stayed in control of my eating!

    For me, my favorite cross training is cycling and hiking...

    So sorry for your pet (dog?). Nothing sadder. I hope he starts to come around soon.

    I have had a rough 3 weeks, too. Virus that started then came on with a vengeance this past weekend. It's been awful, mostly chest congestion. And in between, I wiped out in my stairway and was all bruised up on my butt/thigh. I have run 1x in the past 3 weeks, too. Feel like I'm going to be starting over! Very excited about the possibility of feeling better in the next couple days!

    I have yet to find my fave cross-training activity...

    I am SO sorry to hear about your fall. I pray you heal soon, and that nothing is seriously hurt. Please take it easy and take care of yourself. Yes my dog is doing better, he's still weak, butat least he's finally eating again. So happy, feel ok to leave him alone again.



    I shocked even myself today was able to do 13.76 miles! Yes I did combo walk/run, but I don't care I did 13.76 miles in 2.35 hours! So stoked.

    Alice - so glad you're feeling better!
    Leslye - Way to go!

    Just 6mi for me since I last posted. It's been a rough week. Still coughing like crazy, but I've turned the corner. My goal is to get moving again this week, mostly walking a lot more, and be running again on Sat. Fingers cross that this clears up completely by then!
