I know everyone will be shocked by this, but leave it to me to make my own goals more complicated. I've written two posts so far about crossing a 10K run off this year's bucket list and how I was aiming at running the 5/3 River Bank Run this summer.
The minute I told the world I was going to start training for a 10K, my body said "Oh, no you're not." Since December, I have battled two colds in six weeks and pulled a muscle in my side that knocked me down to only 5 minutes of running before I collapsed in pain.
It took two months, but I finally kicked the stubborn cold symptoms (knock on wood) and my side is finally starting to feel better. I don't know about anybody else, but the minute I stop running, my stamina regresses and pretty much have to start from scratch in building back my endurance. I'm back up to 20-25 minutes. Yay me!
