Has it really been a month since my last update? I honestly believe it. Somehow in the month and a half, thanks to karma, I somehow got mono? Not really quite sure how that happened, but either way it did, and it explains why I felt like death for so long. Unfortunately mono completely wipes you out, and there isn't really anything they can do for you, at all, besides let you sleep, meaning that I have no desire in the entire world to drag my ass out of bed and go running.
Towards the end of last week I finally woke up and didn't feel like death, which was such a wonderful surprise, and just in time for my sister to come to town too! I had such a wonderful visit with her while she was on her spring break, it makes me miss being in Worcester and eating dinner at 148 on the regular!
Either way, today I ended my running hiatus with a quick little run after biology lab (where I hide in the corner from all the WHEAT flour sprinkled around the room). Today I not only ended my running hiatus, I started my 1/2 marathon training plan. I've unofficially choosen the Twin Lights Half Marathon in Gloucester, MA on May 15. It will be the day after my sister's graduation, so I'm hoping my parents will be more willing to come and cheer me on, especially because its a little far from home! I have until April 1st to sign up and still be guaranteed a t-shirt (a requirement) so that gives me a few weeks to see how this plan works out for me, but I'm hoping I won't back out!
good for you! I think my last final might be the 15th so there is a possibility I would be able to come see you :)
