I have rewritten the first sentence of this blog entry countless times as I try to decide how to start it off. My repeated attempts to try to capture what I would like to say, further reinforces my current struggle. It all started back on March 7th, running the Chilly Half, when I developed pneumonia. Unfortunately since developing pneumonia I have experienced a significant set back in my running and pretty much have lost several months of great training. Not only has it affected my speed, endurance but I have had to drop down in two events from the full to the half which is a huge disappointment. Getting sick has also isolated me from my training group given the difference in paces and distances and I have had to do a lot of runs by myself which has been hard to do. So right now I feel like I have fallen off the running rails but I need to get back on track for many reasons, one being that it is a critical stress reliever. So the question is what am I going to do about it?
Here is my 4 week plan and goals:
Mileage:
- Current week ->34k
- May 17th - May 23rd -> 40-44k
- May 24th - May 30th -> 44-48k
- May 31st - June 6th -> 44-48k
- June 7th - June 13th -> 40-44k
(1) May 16th - Mississauga Half: Goal time - 1:57
Weight:
(1) By June 13th I am going to have lost 4 pounds

Nothing like putting it out there for some accountability!
Hopefully we can get together for some more runs together between Mississauga and Ottawa?
Wow what a plan! Nothing like being specific!
I totally sympathize with you on the 'getting your lungs back' part. It takes so darn long. Be careful as you rebuild!
Getting sick certainly throws a spanner in the works. Good luck with all your goals.
