Finally I felt like I could get out and try a run. I ran 5 miles today. I felt good. There was a little vertigo if I looked around too much, but overall I felt really good. Really good, but pretty slow.
I am okay with being slow at Barb's Race this weekend. I just hope I haven't lost too much endurance. I have trained very hard since March, harder than I have ever trained, but this month because of my trip to Africa and then the illness, I have only been able to train 6 days out of 29. I don't think that is what they had in mind when they talk about taper.
TOTALLY AWESOME NEWS BULLETIN
This coming weekend I get to meet:
1. My super cool blogger buddy Willie!
2. My absolute hero, Iron "GeekGirl" Misty
3. Her lovely, and WAY hardcore husband S. Baboo
PLUS, I get to hang out with my bestest friends in the world my Run Buddy and my LA Run Buddy!
Come on! No matter what happens during Barb's Race, this weekend is going to ROCK!

Don't worry about the lack of training. You've put in a lot of work.
Enjoy the race and enjoy the area (I hear it's BEAUTiful)

It takes weeks to loose endurance. You'll probably have your BEST TIME EVAH!
