I think that taking some time when you are not feeling well is the best thing for you so you can rest and try to recover. I think you will be fine for the Detroit half marathon and CIM is still a few months away. Set your goals for CIM and I think you are going to be fine. Hope you get your voice back and are feeling better soon!Sandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715235341995717590.post-15470925744456884202012-09-23T09:19:05.593-06:002012-09-23T09:19:05.593-06:00Kate's remedy is mine too.

But what can you do ???<br />Do NOT let this get you down or diminish your conifdence - you are far too strong for that. The better care you take of yourself for the short term will pay off with your running long term ... ahem, thus speaks the overachiever who pushed too hard and turned a cold into a 3 week ordeal. If you miss a few runs, you miss a few runs. You'll have the benefit of fresh legs when you get back out there.Kathy Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715235341995717590.post-2121584262709757722012-09-22T22:35:30.909-06:002012-09-22T22:35:30.909-06:00Terzah,

Humans get sick, it sucks, but no one escapes illness. Again, many wishes for a quick recovery.<br /><br />Next, a missed run here or there, even a long run, will not make much of a difference on race day. The training is a guide, not a mandate. Following it exactly promises no end goal. Varying from it in minor ways, whether exceeding or undercutting its plan, also promises no increase nor decrease in performance. The point is not to follow the running guide in letter, but to follow it in spirit. You will be out there again as soon as you are healthy running about the tempo and the distance that the guide recommends--that, the effort that the guide recommends, and not the exact distance and tempo--is what is important to accomplishing your goal.<br /><br />On the third question, I think you just hope to be as healthy as you can for the race, and run it to the best of your ability. What else can you do? Mustard poultices? Not sitting on pavement?<br /><br />Maybe I'm breaking a code rule of blog posts here, but you are too long a<br /> good runner to ask such questions. Perhaps they are to spur discussion?<br /> Either way, that is my take on them.<br /><br />SteveStephen Yoderhttp://www.facebook.com/stephen.yoder1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715235341995717590.post-64780845207366032972012-09-22T21:40:16.148-06:002012-09-22T21:40:16.148-06:00Ugh, so sorry you're still not feeling well. ...Ugh, so sorry you're still not feeling well. Don't you hate it when life gets in the way? Don't fret, your coach will be able to work around this an rearrange your plan....you just concentrate on feeling better. The more stress you have, the longer illnesses take to heal - remember that! <br /><br />Was great to see you yesterday and thank you so much for coming out to cheer Ryan and the others on. Funny...while we were turned to tell you good-bye, Ryan and his whole team came through the finish line - and I (we) missed them cross. haha.

I'm seeing your massive progression from totally injured to running long runs and so thinking a few rest days ain't going to kill you or your goals.

Unfortunately, you have a good point that you have tiny germ factories living in your house. School children are so bad about spreading germs, so Charlotte's pediatrician doesn't want her around them during flu and RSV season. It's rough.

I remember learning in primary care that laryngitis is 100% viral. Do you have a fever? Gargle with warm salt water (salty like sea water), ibuprofen for the pain. If I were there I would make you my "grown-up cough syrup," which is hot water with lemon, ginger, honey, and BOURBON. I don't have an answer for your other questions. You are awesome.Kate Beckerhttp://www.facebook.com/kate.becker.96noreply@blogger.com
