This weekend

Happy Friday!

I've been pretty quiet here on the blog this week. I seem to have come down with some kind of cold. I am not thrilled. Especially since I am signed up to run a 5k tomorrow that I was really hoping to "race" since I haven't raced that distance before.

I'm hoping that another night of sleep will help, but the tightness in my lungs is a tell tale sign I have experienced all too often, that leads to more than a cold. I'm bummed, but what can you do? Life is funny that way. I still plan on making my way over to St. Paul and running it, but it might be a casual jog versus me trying to run a fast (for me) 5k.

I know it's happened to almost everyone - probably most reading this post right now! Dealing with sickness and injury is just part of life. There will be other 5k's and other races. I'm actually glad now that I didn't sign up for the 10k or even the 10 mile on Sunday. I would be having a much harder time with this.

At the end of the day, all we can do is be grateful that we can run, no matter how slow or how fast.

Good luck to all the TC racers out there this weekend, including Courtenay, Rich, and Kier.
