This year is well underway and I am just getting back to the blog. I have been out of town for business and returned with an upper respiratory infection. That means that I have been out of service for the last couple of days. I went to the doctor today for a little diagnosis and medication. Not sure exactly what the illness is but I did get some cough medicine. We shall see how it goes with the meds.
"Are you an athlete?"
I was not able to see my doctor today so I saw his colleague. While listening ot my heart beat he asked the above question. I answered, "Yes, I am a runner." He responded, "Long distance?" To which I explained that I have run a marathon and several other long distance races. He commented that my heart beat was the slow, steady heart beat of a person in very good shape. That was at least a boost for me on a day when I was feeling crummy anyway and upset that I can't get out for a run.
QUALIFYING TIME
As soon as I can get back on the run I need to ramp up my training. As I mentioned I was hoping to qualify for a better seed at the mini with a good time at the "Race to the New Year." I have until March to get the time I need. I think my next best opportunity will be at the "Underground Railroad Run" 5K in February. That race is on a flat course through my neighborhood. It will likely be pretty cold. 21:30 or bust.
