Ups and Downs

I am sick. Not the "just not feeling well" kind of sick but the congestion, chest hurts, headache, fever, aches and chills kind of sick. How can one train when they can't breathe? How can I catch up from missing scheduled runs from being in Houston and now being sick? Does every marathon trainee go through this or is this Satan's attempt to bring me down? Maybe, but will I let it? Certainly not!! I will not let this bring me down and I will not let this make me want to give up. I will rest and give my body a chance to heal and get healthy however. I think running right now would only further delay my recovery. So please pray for me now that I recover quickly and get back to my training asap!! Now if you excuse me, I'm going to eat some soup that my amazing hubby fixed for me and take a nap. :)

I'm so sorry you're sick! :( Just rest up and see what God wants to teach you during your sick time. It's hard, but sometimes we HAVE to stop and be sick for a little while. This will pass, sooner than you know. You'll be back out there training in no time!!!
