After a week of being sick - a solid week at this point - I am OVER IT. I haven't gotten to run all week, this cough is making me crazy, and as much as I complained last week about never being home, I am now sick of being home. (Careful what you wish for!) It would be different if I had the energy to do stuff like redecorate or whatever, but I don't. And I have races looming - it's freaking me out! I was really hoping to PR at the Cinco de Mayo, but my fitness isn't where I want it to be, and a lost week of training isn't helping my confidence. Also, I NEED to get out on my bike before Oliver, and the weather's been totally beautiful.
Also, why do I have to feel so gross about myself while being sick? TOTALLY UNFAIR.
Whats looming even bigger though, is the Mt. Si Relay. I was recruited by Brian and Brady Houck, who are nuts. They seem to think I'll be some big asset to the team, but with my aforementioned lack of running fitness, I am concerned. It's next weekend, and I am still hacking up a lung. That's not why they are nuts. They just are. And also, they are obsessed with this 'Best of the Best' movie, which was produced in 1989, and is actually horrible. (It's some kind of world championship MMA movie, but the only two countries competing are USA and Korea. Where are the rest of the teams? Were they eliminated in some other competition? And if so, why isn't the US using the same fighters they previously used, rather than this rag tag bunch of misfits?) It's a beautiful Saturday morning, and I am watching the movie for the second time. Tagline: 'A Team is not a Team if they don't give a damn about each other'. It is AMAZINGLY bad. I foresee many bad quotes in the van next weekend at the relay, and since Dave's seen it now, in our Ragnar van.
Since I haven't had an appetite all week, it's time to make brownies, because why not? :) Maybe I'll feel up to running later?! I hope so!
