Hiccup

GOOD NEWS: I finally broke down and counted as I was on the plane to Phoenix... I had 17.5 weeks until Boston! YAY!!! I have enough time!

BAD NEWS: Lost about a week of training. Ended up in a fender bender (oh gosh, no idea how to even put into words). Anyway, got checked out today. Ignoring the doc because tests look good. I've run 5 miles one day since and the only issue I had was pretty much explained out by the doc visit... so I plan on finally getting a run in tomorrow... 16.5 weeks.

GOOD NEWS: I'm in a dry (well, except the fact it is raining as I type) climate that my allergies and asthma are much happier with. I think I'll be sticking around through the end of the year, so way to start my training! :)

BAD NEWS: I decided to go with the Run Less Run Faster training program... ummmm.... don't have a bike here for cross training and while it is warmer here, not sure it is warm enough to swim laps. I may see about a gym trial membership... or maybe I'll run on the cross training days, but just do very light/very easy.

This is only a hiccup and I still have my full 16 weeks - sigh (of relief). :)

PS - it is nice to be Christmas shopping in shorts again. Cold weather is for the birds! (wait, even they fly South to avoid it!)

If you fly this far south, it's bloody hot! Going to be 38C on Sunday.

Just have to keep the 'goods' ahead of the 'bads' between now and Boston.
