Day 286 | Temporarily Grounded


My doctor has ordered me to “take it easy” due to my excessive bleeding.

Crap.

I really wanted to do 25 miles this week.  I had it all planned out.

Monday:  6 miles (done!)
Tuesday:  quick 5K at lunch (nope…)
Wednesday:  GRUNT class at the YMCA (circuit training, squats, sprints, etc) (nope…)
Thursday:  rest
Friday:  10 miles (not gonna happen….)
Saturday:  rest
Sunday:  6 miles  (maybe I can do this one?)

It would have been so great.

I am still dreaming about doing a long run on Friday.  I love my Friday afternoon long runs.  I dream about them all week.   But I don’t think I’m going to be able to run this week.  I might, if I’m lucky, get in a 10K on Sunday.  But I think that’s only if things settle down and the doctor gives me the all cclear.

At this point, on Wednesday evening, it’s not looking good.

So I wait.  I really hope this whole failed pregnancy thing is behind me soon.  I have signed up to run another half-marathon in 3 and a half weeks, and I really hope I can run that race un-pregnant.
