I worked my tookus off during pregnancy to stay in shape. I dragged my tired butt out of bed at 5:30 am all pregnancy so I could get in a run. The year before I got pregnant I was really making some fitness gains and I didnt want to lose them all. I had high hopes for this running season and it started off really well. 3 months after ds was born I matched my own PR for a 10K.
I have been sick now and have barely been able to work out for 5 weeks. Everytime I start again, a new illness wipes out the family. I dont even have the energy to do the physical therapy I am supposed to be doing for my shinsplints.
I am just getting really really frustrated and depressed. I had a great weekend and a really nice run yesterday morning and during my yoga class last night I could feel the cold that dh had this weekend coming on and by the time I got home I had a fever.
During my runs this weekend I can feel that I have lost a lot of endurance. I recruited a few friends to do a half marathon with me mothers day weekend and now I barely have time to ramp up safely to that distance.
I am so pissed, so depressed. (did I mention that without running I probably should be on anti-depressants)
Top it off the only nice weather we have had this month has been when I am too sick to leave the house. Most of the days I have gotten out have been miserable cold soggy downpour. Today it is 65 and sunny and I am tucked in on the couch.
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
I'm worried that if I dont get better soon I will injure myself trying to ramp up too fast to still do my half in may and my marathon in october.
