I decided to take a week off from running and exercise and like usual that week turned into two weeks. I am not going to beat myself up for it. I had a cold the week before the half marathon and I felt like it was almost gone. A few days after I ran it came back with a vengeance. I was congested and blowing my nose non-stop for two days. Although by the 27th I felt somewhat normal, I can still feel it a little bit. Kara unfortunately caught it and has had a runny nose, coughing non-stop again, and irritable. I have been having flashbacks to when she was a baby and was sick all the time. She would have a cold for 3 (sometimes even more like 4 or 5) weeks, be normal for about 10 days, and then it would all start up again. She just is a magnet for those respiratory and nasal colds. Since school started in September she's had two stomach bugs, one sinus infection that lasted over two weeks, and now a nasal cold. She's catching it from others and we've been around sick people constantly. Kara seems to get it much worse. I was really hoping we could all get healthy over Christmas Break and start next week somewhat normal but I am not keeping my fingers crossed.
I did register for the Minneapolis Marathon and this will be my goal for 2015. With all the colds going around, needing more sleep, and not having much of a schedule I am starting next week. I will be signing up for Spartan so I will start with a bang. I am sure I'll be pretty sore a week from now.
