It's amazing at what illness can do to a usually, healthy person. I was finally diagnosed with a trifecta of exciting upper respiratory malfunctions, and after several weeks of being off my game, two weeks of the Shannon Mann 7-Up Diet and four pill bottles later I finally resumed my exercise program this week. It feels like I'm starting over! For the first time since I can remember my legs actually hurt for two days after a run-- granted that's mainly due from not properly stretching, but still. I had to mentally fight with myself to finish my typically easy 3-mile run and I've only been able to knock out 15 pushups versus my "I can't believe I did 25" fit test number. This week will be a challenge to get back into my routine and keep pushing myself.
I did discover that I have no current fitness goals at the moment. I need a goal. Training for the AF Marathon 10K and working hard to score an excellent on my test were huge motivators, but what now? With winter closing in it is harder to find those dangling carrots. I think the base has a 10K on Nov 18-- I hope the base has a 10K on Nov. 18! More to follow as a I look for a new goal and work to get back to where I was just a month ago!
