May 12-May 18

Wow, what a week! I did not get a single run in this week. I can not remember when the last time was that I went the entire week without running. Well, that is not exactly true. I normally take close to a week off after running a marathon.

I mentioned last week having a stomach virus. Well, I actually went to the doctor last Monday and found out that I had gotten food poisoned somehow. I think it was some old turkey that I got a hold of. Ugh!!! Sunday night was not a good night for me and I ended up having to take off from work on Monday after being up all night. After coming home from the doctor's office, he told me to not run for awhile and of course, I took his advise. That being said, I did go for a nice long run on Sunday.

Here are this week's results:

Monday: Sick
Tuesday: Sick
Wednesday: Recovering
Thursday: Recovering
Friday: RESTING
Saturday: RESTING
Sunday: 12.2 mi/1:47:21
Mileage=12.2 mi

In spite of the food poison, I had a pretty good week. I would have run on Saturday, but I went to my wife's company picnic and was there all day long. We had a blast to say the least. I played golf that morning and then spent the rest of the time playing volley ball and just meeting and greeting her co-workers. GREAT time!

Well, this week is sure to be a much better week and I am hopeful to get in some miles. Oh yeah, I got a new piece of equipment that I tried out yesterday(Sunday). With the warmer temperatures upon us, I bought me a new Cameback backpack.
Wow, it truly helped me with my hydration, but man, wearing an extra 5 lbs. makes a huge difference. I did not expect it to be that bad, my body is aching, especially my legs. The thing is, my heart rate was near 170 the majority of the time throughout my run. I kept thinking that maybe it was because I hadn't run in a week, but that definitely was not the case. I will definitely have to get use to this, but I am only planning to use it on my longer runs.



Hope everyone has a GREAT week of running!
