* Well, I survived a major scare last week with Madelyn's headboard crashing down on the top of my foot during our move. It is still causing pain and minor issues, but I was able to knock out 95-min of hard running quite comfortably. I think I just need to continue icing as much as possible to get it 100%. Race is 50-50 at the moment. I am in heaven in Elkridge. Ran some knarly roads out to Patapsco and then Patapsco is just great. Could run out there for hours. Need to figure out hydration if I am going to knock out some 3-hour runs, etc.
* Foot is coming around, but seasonal allergies have hit me hard with this recent "cold" front that has brought simply gorgeous weather, but tons of pollen. I am dying.. hopefully this doesn't last too long. I have cancelled the 7-mile race as I am enjoying training hard at the moment. I want more workouts and longer long runs. Should be fun, plus, my Mom comes into town on Saturday.
* I am starting to guess my allergies have turned into the flu, as I have been suffering from flu-like symptoms and have nothing. I have continued to run, as it is opening my congestion, but man, this is miserable. May take medicine tonight, just don't want this to turn into pneumonia like in 2008/2009. Don't know what else to do. UPDATE: Went to a Pharmacist last night and she recommended Mucinex D, so I am on that for at least the weekend. If things don't improve will go to a doctor, however, had a phenomenally strong run this morning on my new favorite neighborhoop loop, it's a hell of a run and 6.5 miles of climbing and descending on the streets of Elkridge.
