I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired.
That's how the past two days have been. And I'm still sick today. No fun.
So I'm skipping yet another workout. I feel there's no way I could drag my tired, achy body outside to run. Plus, it's raining again.
I am hoping beyond hope that I feel better by tomorrow so I can do my long run. If not. I'll push that back to Sunday.
I really hate having to scrap workouts like this. But darn it, I just feel like crap!
I used to be an athlete. In high school, I was on the track team. In college, I was a varsity rower. But then life happened. I graduated from college in 1998, got my first real job and started slacking in the exercise department. Add two kids and a few extra pounds and I was unhappy. In November 2006 I started running again as a way to shed some weight and get some much-needed "me time". And now I am back in school to pursue a career in nursing. Here's my journey.

I just came across your blog... found you on Javamom's site! I hope you feel better soon!
Sorry you're still so sick. It sucks to have to miss workouts, but better to wait until you really feel up to it. Hope that doesn't take too much longer!

Being sick is such a drag especially when you cant excercise.
