Happy Monday! I'm thrilled to start this week (believe it or not!) I finally feel like I can get back into a groove. (And shed those 3 holiday pounds!) My family was visiting for the holidays until this weekend.  So while some of you bloggers may have gotten back to real life Jan. 2nd, mine was still topsy turvy.  I had a GREAT visit w/ all my siblings and their families & my parents & grandmom.  But I'm suprising myself that I am somewhat of a scheduled person.  I am happy to get back on one.  I got lots of sleep last night, but didn't get the early run in.  I'll run this afternoon from 4:30-5:30.  I've already put in 5 miles in advance.  Hopefully I can come back and edit that to a little longer. We'll see!

UPDATE:

So I started the day feeling really good and have deteriorated! I was coughing a lot the past few days and today the doc told me I have an infection.  So I start antibiotics today.  I'm anxious to beat this thing and get back in the swing.  I've had good days & bad days, but bascially I've been sick since about Dec. 18th and I'm really ready to kick this thing! Still debating about my run today, I feel really cruddy at the moment.  But I think I'll put on my running shoes and head outside.  If I have to walk, so be it- but at least I'll give it a try!

Hope you get feeling better!! Unless I am extremely sick, I always feel better after a run, hope you do too.

Ooh, nothing is worse than being sick. I hope you feel better soon. I am with you that a schedule/routine is a good thing!! I bet another night of good sleep will help you feel much better.

Sorry that you are not feeling well, but at least with the antibiotics you'll be one the way to feeling better. I agree with Andee extra sleep will definaltly help! My little one is home sick and I am hoping that I can avoid this or I may be in trouble for Painters! Feel better fast!!

Thanks for the support gals! I ended up taking a big nap this afternoon while I was supposed to be running! Once the doc said I was sick, I used that as a big excuse to be lazy! I'm starting the antibotics tonight- tomorrow I'm going to weight class and I WILL get in some miles this week!!!

Hope you're feeling better soon, Christi! I hate those days that I keep thinking I'll run and then when an opportunity comes, I'm too tired or get stuck doing other things. It makes the day so tiring!!! ;o)
