Sick & Tired

So this week me and running haven't been too close. I got some crappy cold at the end of last week and didn't do my long run last Sunday. I was supposed to do 5 miles, but instead I met with some friends for brunch at Upstream and decided to eat my weight in bacon and beer bread french toast. (I know it sounds weird but its super good!) So took Monday off too (of course!) and did a wimpy 2 miles on the treadmill on Tuesday. I seriously wanted to die! Yes I know I was sick but I didn't think 2 miles would hurt, but it did. Sigh. Wednesday I did 3.5 and Friday I did 3 and then I did 5 today. Today was better, my hip didn't start hurting till the end of my run which is good, but it is still bothering me. Okay should I stop complaining now??? The only saving grace is that it seems to FINALLY be getting warmer! And with the time change it doesn't get dark at 4:30 so I can run outside after work! Yay! I also got a new magazine this week: Women's Running. Its pretty good--they have great articles about sports bras, cute running accessories like headbands and stuff and recipes, but the best part is that they also sent me this super cute T-shirt (see picture) I'm very excited about it as you can tell!
So this week I am going to stay positive that my runs will go better since I am feeling TONS better than I did last week and my rehearsal schedule isn't as busy as last week either so I should have more time to run. But the BEST part is that David and Kim are coming to visit next weekend and Kim and I are going to run together! I'm excited to run with her! It will be good practice for when we do the Chicago Marathon together in October! Get ready Kim....Omaha isn't as flat as you think it is! :)
