Good morning
New England weather! This week: cloudy day, record high temperature day, and a rainy miserable day. True to all the clichés used to describe New England weather!
Last weekend I was inspired by all the runners at the Apple Harvest Days 5K, so I decided it was time to get back on my running shoes and begin the process. I have been off the grid as far as running for over 8 weeks, so I was excited, even if it would only be 30-minutes of run/walking. I am happy to report it went great, no stress or other issues that I previously experienced. I was thrilled and looked forward to a day of recovery and getting back out there. I have not run since! The next day my leg felt just fine, but the rest of my body felt like I had been run over! I had the flu.
Instead of the typical day of recovery for my leg, it looks like it may be a full week before I will test it again. I am still battling the sickness, but it has done a great job of beating me down. I am hoping by Sunday, I will be strong enough to get back in my running shoes.
Tomorrow morning around 8:30 the House of Hope Hunger Run 5k will start in Berwick Maine. I chatted about this great cause back a few weeks ago and I hope you might consider running. It looks like it will be decent running weather, so cross over into Maine and support the House of Hope. More information can be found at: https://houseofhopemission.org/purpose-run-5k/
This Sunday I was going to chat about one of NFLR’s individually coached runners, however because I have been laid up, I was not able to meet with Chloe to discuss her experience at the Bank of America Chicago marathon. Hopefully, I will meet with her early next week and I will be able to pass on the successes of her training. I will say, she ran a great race and was pleased.
Now I must venture out and purchase some more NyQuil! Have a great weekend!
God Bless
Mike
