And I have the flu. That is right, it wasn't a head cold I have been fighting and fatigue from traveling, it was the FLU! I spent the day between the bed and the couch trying to stay hydrated. So what does someone who is just 6 days away from her first marathon do when she gets the flu - cry and then email her coach.
I didn't know what my plan should be for my runs this week so I emailed my coach Susan. Plainly put I needed to take it easy and not run this week or maybe a light jog at the very end of the week. Brisk walks would be just fine to keep my legs loose as long as I could keep food down and I had the energy. I have trained hard enough and as Susan put it I could sit around all week eating cookies and be fine (little does she know I would totally do that).
So the nerves are now through the roof and I'm hoping that I wake up feeling better tomorrow.
